Just to be crystal clear -- why are you recommending the preceding:: axis here and not preceding-sibling? Won't the latter work as well and be less expensive?

This is not so at all, the

(count(ancestor::node()), count(preceding::node()) )

uid will still identify the same node if the changes in the xml
