In the predicate, the position() function is being reevaluated against the
set variable and does not reflect the position() within the for-each loop.
<xsl:text>' </xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
...
So I know that I the second node in the node set is correct, but
position() won't get me to it. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Use a variable to capture the for-each position and then address what you
want using it ... an example is below.
I hope this helps.
