How do I select only visible elements using XPath?

Selenium 2 Webdriver gives us the option of the isDisplayed() method which deals with this problem. Nice work by the selenium contributors.

This works for me:

//div[not(@hidden)]

This should work:

.//button[.='OK' and not(ancestor::div[contains(@style,'display:none')])
and not(ancestor::div[contains(@style,'display: none')])]

EDIT:

The simpler and more efficient expression below:

//div[not(contains(@style,'display:none'))]//button[.='OK']

does not work properly because every button has at least one div that's visible in its ancestors.
