This is the wrong list (it is for formal comments on the xpath
specification, ratherthan on xpath expample problems), you want
[email protected] 

but in xpath2

/chapter/(title[1]/(.,following-sibling::node()) except title[2]/(.,following-sibling::node())

is probably the most literal translation into xpath, but others are
possible eg

for $end in /chapter/title[2]
return
/chapter/(title[1]/(.,following-sibling::node()[. <<  $end],$end)

In XPath1 it's probably hard to do but in xpath1+xslt1 (so you can define
variables) then again it's possible.
