Hi David,

Hate to do this to you...

> The preceding axis from an attribute includes its parent

The XPath Rec. says:

  "the preceding axis contains all nodes in the same document as the
  context node that are before the context node in document order,
  *excluding any ancestors* and excluding attribute nodes and
  namespace nodes"

My emphasis.
