Perhaps I am missing the point of your question, but you might take a look
at the XPath Recommendation's discussion of the preceding:: and following::
axes (also maybe the preceding-sibling:: and following::sibling), at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#axes
The note at the end of that section says:
NOTE: The ancestor, descendant, following, preceding and self axes
partition a document (ignoring attribute and namespace nodes):
they do not overlap and together they contain all the nodes in the
document.
Also see the note in the third or fourth paragraph down in section 3.3,
Node-Sets:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#node-sets
