Since you're starting with files that have already been chunked, you can't
effectively use xsl:number to get your numbers, so you have to manage it
some other way. (Neither will position() or counting certain kinds of
ancestors be much use, since the document being transformed is not the
"document" the numbering needs to be in reference to.)
An alternative, if this is thinkable, is to run the transform over the
unchunked document, parameterizing which chunk is to be processed for each
run. Since the entire document is available to the transform, the numbering
can be in reference to the whole.
An alternative, if your chunking routine is also XSLT (or sometimes even if
not) is to provide the numbering in that transformation, and then just pass
it through the second step.
Cheers,
Wendell
