Hopefully this isn't too OT, but I found myself making the same
mistake the other day (using previous instead of preceding). Well,
almost literally two days ago. I quickly realized what I had done,
but I also realized there was a reason my gut instinct was to say
previous. I had just done some work on the following-sibling axis.
So is there a historical reason for having preceding/following instead
of one of the following: preceding/proceeding, preceding/postceding,
previous/following?
I hope there isn't too trivial of a question. It is just one of those
things that has been sitting in the back of my mind these few days
that the list brought up again.

Is previous axes part of XSLT/XPath 2.0?
yes
What if I am stuck with XSLT/XPath 1.0 for now?
It was part (of XPath 1 as well.
Except of course that I can only spell when reading messages not when
typing them, the axis (in xpath 1 and 2) is preceding:: not previous::
sorry about that.
