D'oh! Yep, my mistake. I wasn't referencing the same nodes.

So, I'm liking the xsl:number a bit better than the generate-ID, only
because it seems to reflect the hierarchy a bit better.

Follow-up question:

This is my XSL:

<xsl:for-each select="ruleItem">

	<xsl:variable name="id">
		<xsl:number level="multiple"/>
	</xsl:variable>

	<li><a href="#id{$id}"><xsl:value-of select="number" />:
<xsl:value-of select="title" /></a>
		<xsl:if test="ruleItem">
			<ul>
				<xsl:call-template name="rulelistTOC" />
			</ul>
		</xsl:if>
	</li>
</xsl:for-each>

The output (numbering) of this looks like this:

1.1
1.2
  1.2.1
  1.2.2
1.3

This is OK, but I'd prefer:

1
2
  2.1
  2.2
3

I assume it does the former because every node is a child of the parent
node of the document. As such, there maybe isn't away around that?
