An addendum to the previous post. I just did a quick test and got reasonably
confused because of the following expression:

<xsl:for-each select="preceding-sibling::*"> ...

It should be noted that <xsl:for-each> always iterates through nodes in document
order regardless of the direction of the axis of the selection path. I can't say
I've ever run into this before, but I'm not sure if this is obvious or desirable
behaviour.
