Perhaps when your mind has cleared you can explain to us what you mean
by "the position of a node"?

People sometimes use this phrase to mean "the number of preceding
siblings plus one", which you can obtain as
count(preceding-sibling::*)+1. Or use preceding-sibling::node() if you
want to count non-element nodes.

This is often confused with the position() function, which returns the
position of the current node in the current node list.
