(It could well be that you don't want to check the whole preceding
axis, just the preceding-sibling axis - its worth figuring that out
now based on the examples I've given.)
I am under the (vague) impression that he wants to test the first 'tag'
that precedes the current 'tag', not being a closing 'tag'. In terms of
nodes, that means, I think, the parent node if the current node is its
first child, and the preceding sibling, if the current node is not the
first child of its parent.
I.e.:
<test1>
<test2>
<item />
....
should return false.
<test1>
<test2>
<test1 />
<text />
<item />
...
should return true (text is its immediate preceding sibling).
<testX>
<test1>
<item />
<test1 />
<text />
<item />
<item />
should return true for the first and second item node, but false for the
third.
Of course, it would be nice to have corrected and cleaned input from
'xslt.new' aka 'ms' aka 'mina' (see
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200701/msg00581.html and
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200701/msg00580.html).
There have been four solutions so far, which each slightly different
semantics; could the OP shed some light on what (s)he precisely wants?
