Another way to put it, preceding are nodes that are "closed", i.e. have
both their open and closed tags before the context node. The ancestors
have their open tag but not their closeing tag before the context node.

context node that are before the context node in document order,
excluding any ancestors and excluding attribute nodes and namespace

Err, correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the 'preceding' axis
include the ancestors as well?
No, it doesn't.
