XSLT questions are usually best asked on the xsl-list at mulberrytech.com

This is an interesting one. I think this can be done with xsl:number, though
I've never seen it done.

<xsl:template match="PageId">
<xsl:variable name="c" select="."/>
<xsl:number level="any" match="PageId[. = $c]" format="01"/>

should do the trick, as far as I can see. In XSLT 2.0 you could use
current() instead of the variable, but I don't think current() inside a
pattern is allowed in 1.0. Variables in patterns are allowed in 1.0 except
in the match pattern of xsl:template.
