I've been solving the same problem of testing the first following sibling
of an element, and I ended up with some tested xml like this:

test="name(following-sibling::*[position()=1]) = 'ead'" >

instead of

<sara.mitchell>
  <snip>
  <xsl:when test="following-sibling::*[1][name()='ead']">
  </snip>
</sara.mitchell>

I think this is very like what she said, and for the reason she gave, which
is that the original test was
<snip>
not finding the first sibling node, but the first ead sibling node.
</snip>
