   I tried your suggestion but it doesn't work! I'm using Oracle's parser
and it aborts with "Axis 'previous' not found". I have also checked the
XPATH specs (16 Nov 1999) and there is no mention of previous::sibling. Am I
looking at the wrong specs ?

   For your information, all I'm doing is processing the results of a
database query and each time the 'USER" changes I need to print some header
information.
