You will have to manually count the constructs given the structure that you have, as in the following working example:
T:\ftemp>type lars.xml lars.xsl
lars.xml
lars.xsl
</xsl:stylesheet>
3 text3
T:\ftemp>
If you really wanted to use <xsl:number> then you will have to nest the structure of your input as follows:
T:\ftemp>type lars2.xml lars2.xsl
lars2.xml
lars2.xsl
</xsl:stylesheet>
3 text3
T:\ftemp>
Note how I placed the 2.1 and 2.2 *inside* the 2. NELEMENT so that the structure of the document reflects the numbering that you want ... *then* I can use <xsl:number> to get the numbering of the hierarchy.
I hope this helps.

I have a problem with the xsl:number-element. In the following part of a XML-document I am not able to produce the numbering which I have declared in the comments.
