Hopefully this isn't too OT, but I found myself making the same mistake the other day (using previous instead of preceding). Well, almost literally two days ago. I quickly realized what I had done, but I also realized there was a reason my gut instinct was to say previous. I had just done some work on the following-sibling axis. So is there a historical reason for having preceding/following instead of one of the following: preceding/proceeding, preceding/postceding, previous/following? I hope there isn't too trivial of a question. It is just one of those things that has been sitting in the back of my mind these few days that the list brought up again.
