This looks nifty. If you just use the count() idea, keys are not
required:

<xsl:for-each select="record">
 <xsl:sort data-type="number" select="time"/>
 <xsl:apply-templates select=".">
  <xsl:with-param name="place" select="1 + count(/*/record[time &lt; current()/time])"/>
 </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:for-each>

I also just figured out another approach that just uses keys and not
count:

<xsl:for-each select="record">
 <xsl:if test="not(preceding-sibling::record/time = time)">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="key('records-by-time', time)">
   <xsl:with-param name="place" select="position()"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

I don't know which way is best, though. I guess whichever way runs the
fastest :-)

Thanks!
