AW: [xsl] 1st previous node()

["Szabo, Patrick \(LNG-VIE\)" <patrick.szabo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just took a look at gernerate-id in my book and from what I'm reading here,
I'd say you will always get the same ID as long as you give the function the
same node.

Yes, but preceding incorrectly would consider the children of the
previous node, so preceding-sibling::*[1] is the right answer, and
then of course ../*[1] would select the first ancestor.  I'll give
this a go.

Hopefully someone can chime in on the generate-id issue I am having,
I'm really expecting a consistent answer so assuming I might be doing
something wrong.
