The rare time I do not test what I say or check the Rec before posting,
I get it messed up!  Now I am scratching my head trying to remember just
what were the situations I could not get what I wanted with position()
within a for-each block.  I do remember times like that, but not
details.  Must have been a long time ago.

But it is clear in the Rec, just what David says (of course!) -

"The template is instantiated with the selected node as the current
node, and with a list of all of the selected nodes as the current node
list."

Sorry to be promulgating mis-information :-(

Cheers,
