Re: xsl:number - What is Numbering Context?

Cheers,

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>

When this template is called from the template for Figure/Caption, I get
the expected correct numbering (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.):

<xsl:template match="Figure/Caption">
  <fo:block
      font-weight="bold">
    <xsl:call-template name="figure-caption-text"/>
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

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

<xsl:template match="Figure" mode="xref">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="Caption" mode="xref"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Figure/Caption" mode="xref">
  <fo:inline
      font-style="italic">
    <xsl:call-template name="figure-caption-text"/>
  </fo:inline>
</xsl:template>

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().
