In the above code, "parent::tr/preceding-sibling::tr[1]/td[@morerows]" 
selects _all_ <td>s with a @morerows attribute in the preceding row. 
Then, "preceding-sibling::td" selects all preceding <td>s, i.e. in your 
input, the two <td>s preceding "test" and "0.5", respectively. In other 
words, you are counting the maximum number of preceding <td>s, 
which happens to be 2 in both cases.
