Indeed. Actually I didn't consider your method because it selects:

  <page name="p2" tab="products"/>
  <page name="d" tab="downloads"/>
  <page name="s" tab="support"/>

Rather than:

  <page name="p0" tab="products"/>
  <page name="d" tab="downloads"/>
  <page name="s" tab="support"/>

But looking closer I can see that simply replacing 'following' with
'preceding' appears to generate the above correctly.

Thanks,
Mike
