Here you are getting the set of non-text preceding siblings, taking the
first node in that set, and testing it to see if it's a comment. If the
first non-text preceding sibling is not a comment, this would fail, I
believe.

Isn't "preceding-sibling::comment()[1]" what you want? i.e. from among the
preceding siblings that are comments, the ones (one) for which the context
position is 1?
