the sections for the prev & next links are in

if it's the first or last element. I will have an

<section> element. Then I can compare if the current
"id" attribute is equal to first or last and determine
whether or not there is a prev or next link.
OK. Then the other suggestions on this thread ought to work. If there are
always two periods, then you can use
substring-after(substring-after(@id,'.'),'.')
to get the part after the last dot; to build the entire number for the next
part, it'll look like (the rather complicated):
concat(
substring-before(@id,'.'), '.',
substring-before(substring-after(@id,'.'),'.'), '.',
number(substring-after(substring-after(@id,'.'),'.'))+1
)
If you don't know how many subparts there will be, then you need to use
recursive templates to continue stripping as long as there are periods left
in the string.
