Sorry, yes, I read it too quickly. Actually, it's a rather neat solution
- though not necessarily very efficient!

True enough. (In the stylesheet where I use it, I have to do some fancy parameter passing to avoid collecting the nodes on preceding:: -- which is actually what I need -- but visiting all preceding nodes for every node, not just preceding siblings, is something you *really* need plenty of spare time for.)


A recursive solution isn't necessarily better though is it? unless running of those nice Novatchev math chips.

Cheers,
Wendell
