Here is what is in my source xml:

  <g transform="translate( 40.00, 59.55)"><rect id="line 1277 rect" 
title="0002 0001 scan 001 `  ~"    width="12.5"   height="12.5" 
class="keyoutline" />   <text x=" 6" y="11" class="tch">&#24055;</text><text 
x=" 6" y="11" class="ru-up">&#516;</text><text x=" 6" y="11" 
class="ru-lo">&#517;</text> 
</g>

How do I extract the 40.00 and 59.55 from the translate attribute for each 
child that has an attribute [class='tch']?

Here is my attempt -- it is almost working. I get the text(), the @x and the 
@y but I cannot get the sibling or parent attributes! What am I doing wrong? 
I'm using saxon.

I guess this is a two part question. After I get the parent's transform 
attribute, I want to extract the two numerical values from the translation.

Thanks!
