Ktx try this:

     path = "//fieldset[
                descendant::legend[
                 following-sibling::*[
                  descendant-or-self::li[
                   descendant::label[
                    following-sibling::*[
                     descendant-or-self::br[
                      following-sibling::*[
                       descendant-or-self::input ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]"

Problem: Here's the sample input:

   <fieldset>
     <legend>Personal Information</legend>
     <ol>
       <li id="control_user_first_name">
         <label for="user_first_name">First name</label>
         <input type="text" name="user[first_name]" id="user_first_name" />
         <br/>
       </li>
     </ol>
   </fieldset>

Notice the <br/> is below the <input>, not above it.

Ironically, I can move other elements around and successfully fail the query.

Bug in libxml2? Pilot error? Gap in the language specification?
