Re: complex numbering problem

I seem to have read the requirements a bit differently than, Mike.
Below is the stylesheet I think should work.

This uses Muenchian technique to eliminate duplicates.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                       version="1.0">
		
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

  <xsl:key name="x" match="@start | @end" use="." />

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <time_order>
      <xsl:variable name="no-of-layers" select="count(//layer)" />
      <xsl:for-each select="//layer">
        <time_slot time_slot_id="ts{position()}" time_value="0"/>
      </xsl:for-each>
      <xsl:for-each select="(//@start | //@end)[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('x', .)[1])][not(. = '0')]">
        <xsl:sort select="." data-type="number"/>
	<time_slot time_slot_id="ts{$no-of-layers + position()}" time_value="{.}"/>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </time_order>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
