No, it isn't legal. "." is an AbbreviatedStep, as such it is a Step, and a
Step cannot be followed by a Predicate.
Write select="self::node()[not(.=preceding::TR/TD[15]/node())]"
Or in the context where you are using it,
<xsl:template match="TR/TD[15]">
<xsl:variable name="subject"
select="not(.=preceding::TR/TD[15]/node())"/>
<xsl:if test="$subject">
<tr>
<td>
<a href="{.}.html"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
I'm suspicious about that TR[15]/node() as well: what if it's a comment?
