Working perfect ; ) Nothing like self-documenting XSL Docs!
Karl,
Please double check your code. I would expect "every preceding element's first comment tag" to be "preceding-sibling::*/comment()[1]" (note extra step). The expression you provided us, "preceding-sibling::comment()[1]", would select the first preceding (sibling) comment.
If you want the first preceding node, but only if it's a comment, that would be
preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::comment()]
but note that whitespace-only text nodes can impede that.
Working around those would be
preceding-sibling::node()[not(self::text()[not(normalize-space()])] [1][self::comment()]"
... which I know is a monster, but there you have it.
Cheers, Wendell
