My gut feeling is that thee is no helpful pattern in selecting the members of the output. Building a temporary tree is just the thing. I had no idea that I could do that. I'll do some reading up on them and try it.

Along the lines of:

  <xsl:variable name="intermediate">
    <FormatPage>
      ....
    </FormatPage>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:apply-templates mode="augment-result" select="$intermediate"/>

  <xsl:template mode="augment-result" match="Formats">
    ...
    <xsl:attribute name="label" select="position()"/>
    ...
  </xsl:template>

Or grouping, or whatever ... just treat $intermediate as your second-pass input. I suggest a different mode so that your template rules for creating $intermediate are not engaged when processing $intermediate.

On another topic, thanks for the lead on the Crane publications.

You are most welcome. The announcement even led to some sales of our XSLT interactive DVD that I didn't mention:
