That's a fairly non-trivial proposition, actually.
Bummer, I thought there would be some (perhaps complex) Xpath expression I
could use.
Actually the last 0 for A10 isn't a typo. Basically any new <a> node should
restart the counter.
But I'll work with what you provided and see if I can solve that.
Thanks once again!

Here's one solution. The algorithm is to gather up all the reg nodes into
a variable (to remove any other structure) and then walk through the list
of nodes in the variable. To do the walking, I wrote a recursive template
that figures out what the values for the current reg node should be and,
if a subsequent reg node exists, calls itself again.
Here's the XSL
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="reg">
<xsl:for-each select="//reg">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="top">
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>reg ID</th><th>Offset Value</th>
</tr>
<xsl:call-template name="figure-offset">
<xsl:with-param name="offset" select="0"/>
<xsl:with-param name="position" select="1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="figure-offset">
<xsl:param name="offset"/>
<xsl:param name="position"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$reg//reg[position() = $position]/@offset">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="$reg//reg[position() =
$position]"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="$reg//reg[position() =
$position]/@offset"/></td>
</tr>
<xsl:if test="$reg//reg[position() = $position]/following::reg">
<xsl:call-template name="figure-offset">
<xsl:with-param name="offset" select="$reg//reg[position() =
$position]/@offset + 1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="position" select="$position + 1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="$reg//reg[position() =
$position]"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="$offset"/></td>
</tr>
<xsl:if test="$reg//reg[position() = $position]/following::reg">
<xsl:call-template name="figure-offset">
<xsl:with-param name="offset" select="$offset + 1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="position" select="$position + 1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And here's the output (from Saxon):
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>reg ID</th>
<th>Offset Value</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A1</td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A2</td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A3</td>
<td>10</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A4</td>
<td>11</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A5</td>
<td>12</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A6</td>
<td>24</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A7</td>
<td>25</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A8</td>
<td>6</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A9</td>
<td>7</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A10</td>
<td>8</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
You specified a value of 0 for the last offset, but I am assuming that's a
typo.
As usual, I'm sure there are other ways.

[xsl] Traversing the tree
Hi,
This is probably simple for the experts of the group but I can't figure
this out. Problem I got
stuck on was how to find the closest preceding-sibling node with an offset
attribute, then count
the nodes that don't have the attribute since that node.
Input :
<top>
<a>
<reg > A1 </reg>
<reg > A2 </reg>
<reg offset="10" > A3 </reg>
<reg > A4 </reg>
<reg > A5 </reg>
<reg offset="24" > A6 </reg>
<reg > A7 </reg>
</a>
<a>
<reg offset="6"> A8 </reg>
<reg > A9 </reg>
</a>
<a>
<reg > A10 </reg>
</a>
</top>
Output:
A1 : 0
A2 : 1
A3 : 10
A4 : 11
A5 : 12
A6 : 24
A7 : 25
A8 : 6
A9 : 7
A10: 0
So, start with 0 and count unless @offset is encountered, if so, jump to
the offset and start
