You could imagine an extension function or template that (using
exsl:node-set()) generated a number of nodes whose identity you don't
care about. But you very rarely want that, really - it would be a lot
better to have an extension element that loops a number of times, and
makes the number of the particular iteration available for you to use.

Cheers,
