Re:  Why does this XPath expression work fine when run
Thank you Graydon and Ken.

If I understand correctly, you are saying that the XPath expression in an XSD
1.1 assert may not reference comment fields. Correct?

Okay, I will switch back to XSD 1.0 and express assertions using Schematron.
The XPath works fine in Schematron:

<sch:rule context="xhtml:html/xhtml:head">
    <sch:assert
test="xhtml:style/following-sibling::comment()[1]/starts-with(., '[if gte mso
9]>&lt;xml>')">
        	Two comments may occur following the
 	style element; they must contain a
 	well-defined content
    </sch:assert>
</sch:rule>

/Roger

The data model within which an assertion is evaluated is comprised only of the
element itself, not its siblings. You are looking at siblings.

Per the specification:

https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-1/#sec-cvc-assertion

I hope this helps.
