My main problems are:::::::::

Your main problem is that you are posting to a list that has relatively
little knowledge of Formatting Objects.  You would do much better posting to
the XSLFO mailing list:

www-xsl-fo(_at_)w3(_dot_)org

***

There is no counter I can increment for line number or any 
other number
number I wish to make up. Some things can be counted, like node()
position(), but these are no good to me as I wish to count 
lines, in some
cases I wish to write a space between the lines (see DTL02).

That's right.  In the past, I have had to resort to empty blocks and tables
to push data out where I wanted it.  FO relies upon data flow to drive
pagination and positioning, its not a DTP utility.

Variable are static in XSL, and cannot be incremented, that 
suck, I mean
that really suck, it is like meatloaf through a straw it 
sucks and it sucks
hard.

It is a feature common to functional programming languages; perhaps you
should consider using a different tool?


HTH,

Mike
