The current Row can have 2, 3, 4 and more Cell child
elements. Therefore if the current Row in the node set
has 2 Cell elemets then I nedd to apply

current Row/Cell (the count of Cell child of current
Row node is 2)

Next time if the current Row has 3 Cell elements then

currrent Row/Cell (the count of Cell child of current
row = 3

It is like if I was using [1], [2] to get the current
Row (Row[1], Row[2]) but the '.' does not work with
the node set $set

Is that clearer?

Cheers
