xslt - XPath selecting multiple elements with predicates

I have an XPath query which is doing what I want, namely selecting a union of 'surname' & 'given-names' with the given predicates (It's actually either/or that I need, but the union works fine):

/header/authors/surname[./text() and @id='1']
|
/header/authors/given-names[./text() and @id='1']

However this seems overly long-winded to me and I feel that it should be possible to do something more succinct such as:

/header/authors/(surname|given-names)[./text() and @id='1']

... but this version is not valid XPath.

Can anyone tell me of a neater way of writing the original XPath expression which doesn't require the full path to be written twice?

Thanks

Richard

First, this is valid XPath 2.0:

/header/authors/(surname|given-names)[./text() and @id='1'] 

Second, this XPath 1.0:

/header/authors/*[self::surname|self::given-names][text()][@id='1']
