I am trying to number figures consecutively through a document.  I have
a named template that handles generating the display text for figure
captions. My intent is to re-use it for both the figure itself and cross
references to figures:

<xsl:template name="figure-caption-text">
  <xsl:text>Figure </xsl:text
    ><xsl:number
          count="Figure"
          level="any"
    /><xsl:text>. </xsl:text
  ><xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="figure-caption-text">
  <xsl:text/>Figure <xsl:number count="Figure" level="any"/>. <xsl:text/>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

However, when I call it for the cross ref, I always get the value "1":

Clearly I'm missing something.

I didn't see anything in the spec or the
FAQ explained this behavior--everything implies that the numbering is
with respect to the source tree, not, for example, the current node list
as for position().
