Your extract doesn't tell us what the current node list is. position()
returns the position of the node in the current node list, which is
established by a call on xsl:for each or xsl:apply-templates.

If you want the position of the node among all the children of its parent
node, use <xsl:number/> or count(preceding-sibling::item)+1.
