Hi,
A rare slip from Gerrit? who surely means
select="//*[. << current()]"
although I'd personally go with
select="ancestor::*|preceding::*"
to select all the elements before the current node in document order. :-)
Cheers, Wendell

Just a side note: If you want to select the preceding elements
*including the ancestors*, use the XPath 2 << operator [1], which
selects the nodes that precede the current in document order [2].
In XSLT: select="*[. << current()]"
