The step preceding-sibling::* will get you *all* the preceding sibling
elements of the context node. If you use <xsl:value-of> or something
similar on this node-set, you will get the value of the first node in
document order.

If you only want the immediately preceding sibling element, you need
to add a predicate that tests the position of the preceding sibling
element; use:

  preceding-sibling::*[1]

Cheers,
