(your message came out one word per line, I had to reflow it to read it)
Just a comment on,
To my understanding i canot use
the axis in the select xpath because they rely on a context node, wich
i don't have at the time.
There is always a current node in XSLT, you can always use an axis in a
select expression. so I don't understand this comment.
However
I want to process all <xxx> nodes that
are at the 1st level of deepness, plus the <xxx> at absolute position
number n
So i translate this to
<xsl:apply-templates
select="/menus/menu | (//menu)[$pos]" />
That does seem to be a direct translation of your English into Xpath, so
presumably this is what you want.
But this looks a bit strange:
<xsl:for-each
select="ancestor::menu/menu | self::menu | menu">
Given that you already slected all your top level menus and the $pos'th
menu in your first <xsl:apply-templates select="/menus/menu | (//menu)[$pos]" />
why do you need to start walking back up the tree here. That select
selects all ancestor menus that have a parent menu (but not ancestor
menus that don't have a parent menu), the current node and any menu
children of the current node.
If thats what you want, this is the right thing, but it looks strange to
me.

sorry, as a matter of policy never check off-list examples (I waste
enough time just looking at small inlined examples on the list:-)
