Description Michael Kay 2006-01-05 17:55:38 UTC 
The query is 

($input-context1/works[1]/employee[13]) >>
($input-context1/works[1]/employee[12]/overtime[1]/day[1]/preceding::day)

In fact $input-context1/works[1]/employee[12]/overtime[1]/day[1] is the first
day element in the document, so preceding::day selects nothing, therefore the
result of the query is an empty sequence.
Comment 1 Carmelo Montanez 2006-01-09 14:37:07 UTC 
Michael:

Correct.  Actually I changed the test to achieve the desired evaluation.
Changed query to:
$input-context1/works[1]/employee[13]) >> ($input-context1/works[1]/employee
[12]/overtime[1]/day[2]/preceding::day).

Please close the bug when able to verify.  Changed test ws resubmitted.

Thanks,
Carmelo
