    It's hard to see 
    how they could have been made the same, and if they are 
    different, then operations will work differently on the two 
    cases. In particular
    
    axes only apply to nodes in a tree, they never relate to 
    the sequence that is being operated on.

   
    position() only relates to the sequence that is being 
    operated on, it never relates to the position of a node in a tree.
    
    
    Both of the above were equally true in XSLT 1, there are 
    just more places where the difference shows up in XSLT2 as 
    XSLT2 is a lot more expressive and the sequences are first 
    class objects.

I can see it when laid out like that.
Whether its as obvious whilst I'm writing a stylesheet I've yet to find out :-)
  ?There be witches? as the saying goes.

Appreciated David.
