/*
Hi,

How can I select ALL activity elements that has a description in this
example xml?
The location should not matter, so even if its located under a/b/c/d.. etc.
it should be possible to find the element.
This should be a fairly simple task to do, but I just cannot get it working
properly.

Thanks for any help how to solve this!
