Equivalence between XSL and XPath expression

I've send a reply to a message starting like this:

"I wonder if my messages are getting to the list, cause it seems strange no
one
is replying, and also i've received a "ezmlm warning" from the list-owner, so
i
don't know what's going on.

Can someone please answer this just to get sure?"

so i suppose it never got to the list cause no one answered!

So i'm trying again.

And the question is: Is this XPath expression

count(./ancestor-or-self::menu)+count(./preceding::menu)

equivalent to this XSL expression?

		<xsl:variable name="position">
			<xsl:number level='any' count="menu"/>
		</xsl:variable>

By equivalent i mean they return the same value.


Thanks.
