xml and xpaths

Hey all I'm having troubles figuring this out.. so I have set up a datasource that pulls the xml directly from a bind statistics web server and that's working but I can't get the values to show up ...

And of course after I post this I decide to try one more thing and it works.. 

/statistics/server/counters[@type="qtype"]//counter[1]/text()


I understand why this is working but what if I don't always know if for example the "name=A" is going to be the first element ? Which led me to try
  

/statistics/server/counters[@type="qtype"]//counter[@name="A"]/text()


Which does seem to work, so back to building all of the datapoints !
