If I use "//TC1710/*", then I get the results that I want.

However, I also need to be able to display only nodes that have the
attribute A="1" using "//TC1710/*[@A='1']" for the XPATH.
The problem is that descendant nodes of a node that has A="0" are not
displayed whereas they are using "//TC1710/descendant::*[@A='0']" but that
XPATH causes duplicates of the descendant nodes to be displayed.
