The usual element specifiers are name, index, id, some, every, range, relative 
and test.
Not every element will support every specifier. The AS dictionary may help.

You can identify the document to close using any of the supported specifiers.

You will likely have to identify the index, name or id of a document in order 
to close it using a specifier.
Perhaps your document object has a path property that will come to the rescue.
You can iterate over the documents plural element until you find a match and 
then close the matching element.
