[xsl] Preceding comment() match

["Karl Stubsjoen" <kstubs@xxxxxxxxx>]

I need to match the first comment() preceding the current context.

So from:

<!--
this is the comments, first preceding
-->
<xsl:template name="example">

</xs:template>


Assuming that this xpath should work:
<xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::comment()[1]"/>

But instead, I am matching on every preceding elements first comment
tag.  I just need "your" comment tag, and if you don't have one, then
nevermind.

Please help.
