<?xml version="1.0"?>
<staff>
<user>
<id>A</id>
<rank>User</rank>
</user>
<user>
<id>B</id>
<rank>User</rank>
</user>
<user>
<id>C</id>
<rank>Administrator</rank>
</user>
</staff>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<staff>
<user>
<id>A</id>
<rank>User</rank>
</user>
<user>
<id>B</id>
<rank>User</rank>
</user>
<user>
<id>C</id>
<rank>Administrator</rank>
</user>
</staff>

I have to promote to "Administrator" a random user using XPath.
How can I do it?
