Again, I don't know exactly what you're after. But the XPath/XSLT axes
aren't that involved. Basically, under their definition an element is
assumed to follow another if its start tag follows the other's end tag, and
to precede another if its end tag follows the other's start. So an element
could never *follow* any of its ancestors in document order, nor could it
*precede* its descendants.
