Determining the depth of a node

2004-03-02 14:56:13
It seems like this question is answered all the time, buy all my searchs seem 
to point me to XQuery and I don't want to use XQuery. In fact, for this purpose 
it would be most convenient to use the MSXSL processor, so we are talking XSLT 
1.0.

I have captured a node in an element:
<xsl:variable name="max-node" select="descendant::*[name()= 'system' or name()= 
'component'][position()=last()]" />

Now I need to know the number of ancestors this node has. What XPath expression 
will give me this? Thanks.
