Thanks for reporting this. Bugs in xsl:number have a habit of lying dormant
for years before anyone finds them! Now fixed in the Saxon Subversion
repository, and I am adding the test case to the test suite. (Test
numbering97 for those interested.)

Subject: [xsl] xsl:number from="/" level="any"
This is in the context of xsl:number with @level="any".
Reading the XSLT 2.0 recommendation it looks like @from is
allowed to be "/" to indicate a document node.
Yet I get empty sequences whenever I try it with Saxon 8.8.
I get the behaviour I expect with @from="/*".
Here's an example, which uses processing instructions to show
a case where / has more than one child.
Document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?thing?>
<top>
<?thing?>
<child>
<?thing?>
<child><?thing?></child>
</child>
<child>
<?thing?>
</child>
</top>
<?thing?>
Stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction(thing)">
<xsl:message>
<xsl:text>This thing gets xsl:number "</xsl:text>
<xsl:number count="processing-instruction('thing')"
from="/" level="any"/>
<xsl:text>" from / and xsl:number "</xsl:text>
<xsl:number count="processing-instruction('thing')"
from="/*" level="any"></xsl:number>
<xsl:text>" from /*.</xsl:text>
</xsl:message>
<xsl:apply-templates></xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output:
This thing gets xsl:number "" from / and xsl:number "" from /*.
This thing gets xsl:number "" from / and xsl:number "1" from /*.
This thing gets xsl:number "" from / and xsl:number "2" from /*.
This thing gets xsl:number "" from / and xsl:number "3" from /*.
This thing gets xsl:number "" from / and xsl:number "4" from /*.
This thing gets xsl:number "" from / and xsl:number "5" from /*.
