Here we consider a class of energy eigenstates of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain that exist both for anisotropies 1 and larger than 1. We show that at the isotropic point their contributions are behind the diffusion constant being infinite, spin transport being anomalous superdiffusive for temperatures T>0. That for anisotropy larger than 1 such states do not contribute to the diffusion constant is shown to imply it is finite, spin transport being normal diffusive for T>0. By combining the connection through a Jordan-Wigner transformation of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain to the one-dimensional (1D) lattice spinless fermion model at zero chemical potential for V/J larger or equal to 1 with its Bethe-ansatz solution, where V is the nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion and J is twice the hopping integrai, in this paper we also address the issue of the T>0 charge transport of that model at zero chemical potential. It is found to be anomalous superdiffusive for V/J=1 and normal diffusive for V/J>1.
