Re: [xsl] variable attribute | Re: [xsl] XPath problem: Checking if imidiately preceding sibling is of a certain kind
preceding-sibling::*[1]=preceding-sibling::A[1])

= on node sets does an existential quantification over the _value_ (not
name) over all teh nodes in teh set: it is true if any node in teh first
set has a string value equal to teh string value of the node on teh
right.

as the A and br elents are all emty, they all have string value of "" so
are all equal.
