This results in all of the <thing> elements being counted
irrespective of their position within a <box>, though, whereas I had
asked to count their positions with respect to their ancestor <box>.
Here's another approach ...
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<result>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//box//thing"/>
</result>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="box//thing">
<thing myCount="{count(ancestor::box[1]//thing[. << current()]) + 1}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</thing>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here I have used the XPath 2.0 node comparison operator <<.
