Re: xsl:number problem

I thought we had agreed earlier that xsl:number is not teh best way to
count nodes, given that Xpath has a count function for that purpose?

However

  After I changed to <xsl:number level="any" count="productId[publisher='NETg' 
or publisher='Wave']"/>  or 
  <xsl:number level="any" count="//productId[publisher='NETg' or 
publisher='Wave']"/>

Clearly the second expression starting with // will always give the same
value as it always counts all the nodes in the document, since it starts
with / it does not depend on the current node at all.

The first expression will return different values depending on the
current node.
