I must be misunderstanding what a simple function like position() does.
Can
someone explain to me why the following returns all even numbers in the
result? I would expect it to be {1][2][3] instead of [2][4][6]
=== test.xml ===

It's returning even numbers because you're forgetting about the whitespace
text nodes that are siblings of the book elements. See the FAQ:
