Description

For each namespace declaration and the default xml namespace there is a node in
the preceding axis but the preceding axis must not contain any namespace or
attribute nodes.

Example with ApplyXPath:

text.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<a xmlns="urn:x" xmlns:y="urn:y"><b/><c/></a>

command line:
ApplyXPath test.xml //*[local-name()='c']/preceding::node()

output:
Loading classes, parsing test.xml, and setting up serializer
Querying DOM using //*[local-name()='c']/preceding::node()
<output>
urn:x
urn:y
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace
<b/>
</output>

expected output:
Loading classes, parsing test.xml, and setting up serializer
Querying DOM using //*[local-name()='c']/preceding::node()
<output>
<b/>
</output>
