Preceding Axis and Aggregation

 Preceding Axis and Aggregation
I've been aggregating numbers in XSLT 1.0 using the preceding-sibling:: axis
for nodes with the same parent.  I now need to aggregate (for a given x) all
the values of y1 that preceed the context node even if they have different
parents.  For this I added another attribute using the preceding:: axis (see
below).  For my test data it appears to give the output I need.

If I am constrained to using an XSLT 1.0 processor is this the right
technique?

Thanks, Simon
