Re: Incrementing a Global variable

The XSLs (by Jarno and by -- Americo) are brilliant..
I was trying to solve the problem, but could'nt come
up with the solution soon..

Though the issue about incrementing the variables has
been discussed a lot on this list, I feel if there is
a feature where some sort of variable incrmenting is
possible in XSLT, it will save lot of programming
hours producing a trivial thing as generating serial
nos. I am not suggesting to deviate from the viewpoint
that XSLT should be a functional language.

The XSLT 2.0 spec is in draft stage. If appropriate,
these features can be thought to be added. Probably
more knowledgeable persons on this list -- M. Kay,
Dimitre, David Carlisle, Dave Pawson, Wendell, Jeni,
Jarno, Americo.. can comment on the appropriateness of
this idea ;)
