There is an or operator (|) in XPath:

//img|//*[@background]

unlike css comma it'd select either one correct? css comma would select both if possible.

Use |, e.g.: //img | //*[@background]

In addition to the "union" operator | which exists in XPath 1.0 and 2.0 there is also the "comma" operator , in XPath 2.0 to form a sequence of items e.g. //img, //*[@background].
