predicate inside a for-each

Hi,

imagine the following scenario:

XML:
<table>
   <head>
       <row>row 1</row>
       <row>row 2</row>
   </head>
   <body>
       <field>field 1</field>
       <field>field 2</field>
       <field>field 3</field>
       <field>field 4</field>
   </body>
</table>

I would like to generate a XHTML table looking (a bit) like this:
row 1        field 1      field3
row 2        field 2      field4

However, I ran into a brick wall:
<xsl:template match="table">
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="head/row">
<tr>
<td><strong><xsl:value-of select="."/></strong></td>
<xsl:for-each select="../../body/field[position() mod count(../../head/row) = ROWPOSITION]">
<td><xsl:value-of select="position()"/>-<xsl:value-of select="../../@row-count"/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>


ROWPOSITION needs to be the position of the row, which is processed by the outer for-each. However, I can't think of any XPath expression to get there..
Of course I could call another template and pass the row position as a parameter, but I'd like to avoid that..


Any suggestions??

Thanks,
Ben
