If I've understood your use of the word "level", the expression
count(ancestors::node()) will give you "1" for the document element, "2"
for children of the document element, etc. It also considers an element's
attribute as one deeper than the element itself.
Use count(ancestors::*) for a zero-origin count.
I hope this helps.
