> would the result be any different ? no xpath 1 and 2 would be the same in that case. > '... The xpath 2.0 spec is unclear regarding multiple predicates, I'm not sure what part os unclear but predicates (in xpath 1 and 2, and xquery) are evaluated left to right, with for example last() a being re-calculated after each predicate to refect the number of items remaining. > it would seem that, at least for eXist and Saxon, the first predicate > causes the expression to evaluate to a sequence before the last > predicate is considered.' yes, but note preceding-sibling::div1[@class="doc"][1] is different from (preceding-sibling::div1[@class="doc"])[1] in the first case you get the closest matching iten, and in the second case you get the first one in documet order, ie the one furthest from the current node.
