This selects one account element, marked above.

This selects nodes of any kind (node()) on the ancestor-or-self axis so
it selects the account element, its parent, the bank element, the
grandparent, the banking element (which is the root element), and the
root node (/, the document node). That way you get four nodes.

If you are only interested in element nodes then use
ancestor-or-self::*, that way you get three elements.
