preceding-sibling::node()[1][normalize-space()][self::comment()]
This will select the immediately preceding-node, should that return true
for normalize-space() and self::comment().
yes
preceding-sibling::node()[normalize-space()][1][self::comment()]
This will select the first in a list of nodes that return true for
normalize-space() and self::comment().
No, that would be
preceding-sibling::node()[normalize-space()][self::comment()][1]
What you have,
preceding-sibling::node()[normalize-space()][1][self::comment()]
selects the first non-whitespace-text node if it is a comment.
