You want to have a look at section 2.4 of the XPath spec.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#predicates
Basically, the preceding-sibling axis is a reverse axis, and position() returns
the proximity of the node in the node-set with respect to the context node. So
preceding-sibling::*[1] should return the immediately preceding sibling.
