Re: first of type element position

Use the preceding-sibling axis to test for TOC.SECT elements that come before 
the current element.

<xsl:template select="TOC.SECT">
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::TOC.SECT">
    The current TOC.SECT is *not* the first.
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="not(preceding-sibling::TOC.SECT)">
    The current TOC.SECT *is* the first.
  </xsl:when>
</xsl:if>
