That's what Kay's book seems to say. See page 336 and 338:

An axis is a path through the document tree...

preceding-sibling
This selects all the nodes that precedthe origin node, and that are children
of the same parent node, in reverse document order.  If the origin is a root
node, an attribute node, or a namespace node, then the preceding-sibling
axis will always be empty.

Sorry, can't help you here.
