It sounds like you've been caught by something that bit me recently.
What's probably happening is that your

<xsl:apply-templates />

is matching all nodes, _including_ whitespace text nodes between the
elements; thus you get:

1. whitespace
2. Cell
3. whitespace
4. Cell

...and so on. If you use

<xsl:apply-templates select="Cell" />

you should get the correct value for position().

HTH,

Nick.
