RE: position() seems always to be 1

Hi,

<xsl:when test="self::node()[position()=last()]">

[snip]

If I use  <xsl:when test="self::node()[position()=1]">  all 
download elements are processed, it seems that every download 
elements returns 1... but this cannot be or?

Above, the position() returns the context position of the self:node() locations 
step, and will always return 1; last() will also always return 1 as the context 
size for self::* will never exceed 1. Thus, the above predicate test will 
always return true. Thus, instead, simply use

  <xsl:when test="position() = last()">

Cheers,
