parent element siblings

  </label>
</xsl:template>

Obviously, the "position(parent)" part is wrong (it just illustrates
what I'd like to do).

Is there a way for the template that handles <label> elements to
determine the position of <td> elements, within the <tr>?

Try count(../preceding-sibling::*) to count number of preceding siblings of the parent element.
