Thanks to Josh and Charles for your answers. Both strategies worked for the
sample given.
As usual, the real code is more complex. In practice, I needed to be able to
put the Standalone="true" on a few other levels as well. What I've now
started to use is similar to this:
<xsl:template match="Sentence">
<xsl:variable name="StartFrom">
<xsl:value-of
select="generate-id(ancestor::*[(_at_)Standalone='true'][1])"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="Number">
<xsl:number
count="Sentence[generate-id(ancestor::*[(_at_)Standalone='true'][1])=$
StartFrom]" level="any"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
Thanks again!
