Re: grouping problem...kinda?

That's awesome. Thanks very much.

I'm afraid I don't understand why it works, though. 

preceding-sibling::*/@class can return a sequence of values. Why does the 
copy-of select the correct(/first?) one? 


Similarly, the copy-of selects the correct item in the sequence when it also 
contains the result of @*. It does so even when the OR is reversed, ie: 
@*|preceding-sibling::*/@class. Why does it prefer to select the value of ./@* 
over the values in preceding-sibling::*/@class ?
