In most cases, when the current node list is just a list of siblings, you
can use
position(). In a general case, <xsl:number count="*"/> gives you the
childnum
as a result tree fragment, regardless of the current node list; to use it in
an
expression context, you have to paste it into an xsl:variable (and it grows
more
verbose than your initial solution ;-( - sorry).
