XPath to select multiple tags

by

One correct answer is:

/a/b/*[self::c or self::d or self::e]

Do note that this

a/b/*[local-name()='c' or local-name()='d' or local-name()='e']

is both too-long and incorrect. This XPath expression will select nodes like:

OhMy:c

NotWanted:d 

QuiteDifferent:e
