I have a doubt about testing preceding-sibling 
processing-instruction.
        I have this xml:
       <root>
           <child1>
                   child 1
           </child1>
           <?proc?>
           <child2>
                  child 2
          </child2>
     </root>
           And I need to know if child2 has the first 
preceding-sibling as a processing-instruction. 
This needs care because the immediately preceding sibling is actually a
whitespace text node. If you've used xsl:strip-space to remove such text
nodes, it's
test="preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::processing-instruction()]"
but if you need to ignore such text nodes then it's
test="preceding-sibling::node()[not(self::text()[normalize-space()=''])][1][
self::processing-instruction()]"
