What you're saying is that position() is relative to a node in the input (original) XML tree, not to the nodes that I select with xsl:for-each. Correct? No, it's exactly the other way round. an axis like child:: or following-sibling:: _always_ refers to the position of the node in the original tree. position() never refers to the original tree. position() _always_ refers to the position in the current node list, which, in the body of a for-each, consists of the nodes selected by the select= expression then sorted according to xsl:sort, or into document order if there is no xsl:sort.
