Auto-Numbering with conditions

Hi,
I'm continuing to struggle with this problem. A certain class of manual here
uses a numbered step by step instruction on how to operate features of the
product (using xsl:number). Except if the instruction has only one step, then it
outputs a bullet instead of a single "1". Instructions with 1-9 steps are also
formatted differently than instructions with 10 or more steps. This later part
is whats got me stumped.

So, a snip of the xml code looks like this:

<blockquote>
    <step>
       <text>This would be step one, auto-numbering appled if more than one
step.</text>
       <explain>This is optional, if additional explaination is
needed.</explain>
    </step>
    <step>
       <text>This would be step two, auto-numbering appled if more than one
step.</text>
       <explain>This is optional, if additional explaination is
needed.</explain>
    </step>
<!--Continues as needed-->
</blockquote>


And the XSL that I'm using at the moment looks something like this:

<!--Step by step instruction element with conditional auto-numbering-->
    <xsl:template match="step">
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="count(../step)>1">
        <span style="display:block; ">
            <xsl:number format="1&#x2003;" />
            <xsl:apply-templates />
        </span>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
        <span style="display:block; ">
            <xsl:text>&#x2022;&#x2003;</xsl:text>
            <xsl:apply-templates />
        </span>
        </xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>

At a bare minimum, this works. If there is more than one step element it
auto-numbers, otherwise it outputs the bullet.
But, what I really want is to modify the conditions so that when there is more
than one and less than 10 steps I can apply styles "abc" and when there is more
than 10 or more steps, apply styles "xyz".
I now understand part of the problem I was fighting trying to use this code,
that it was counting the total number of step elements inside each blockquote
container and not the step elements individually.

Can anyone offer a solution?
Thanks!
