This is a fragment of an XPath expression

>
preceding::xhtml:td[count(preceding-sibling::xhtml:td)=count(current()/preced
ing-sibling::xhtml:td)+1 and current()/@rowspan]

which, starting from a context node C, selects all xhtml::td elements T
satisfying the conditions

(a) T is before C in document order

(b) T is at position N among its like-named sibling elements, where C is at
position N+1 among its like-named sibling elements

(c) C has an @rowspan attribute

Exactly what use this is depends on a deeper understanding of the data model
than I possess, but I imagine it's trying to locate cells in the same column
as C, but in a previous row of the table.

Presumably this XPath fragment appears sufficiently often that the author
decided to put it in an XML entity to avoid writing it out in full every time.
If they had been using XSLT 2.0 they would almost certainly have defined a
function, and have used a function call instead.
