it makes it work instead of not work:-)

(ancestor::table//col)[$x]

selects the x'th col element in the table.

ancestor::table//col[$x]

selects every col element that is the x'th col child of its parent.

(by the way both of tehse fail if you allow nested tables as there will
be col elements you don't want, safer would be
<xsl:variable name ="t" select="ancestor::table[1]"/>

($t/col|$t/colgroup/col)[$x]...
