This translates into English as "copy all nodes that are children of my 
C1001 children but that do not have C1007 children and do not have C1010 
children of their own".

To be more explicit, I'm afraid we need to see a snippet of your source XML 
again, with a specification of which nodes you want to copy and which ones 
you don't. (Tell us in the natural language of your choice, and there's 
probably someone around who can translate it back into XPath.)

But the ultimate solution to your problem is to master XPath. 'and' and 
'or' operators, the not() function, etc., are all part of XPath.

Cheers,
Wendell
