Ahh!
I was under the (obviously incorrect) assumption that the 2.0 rules for numbering were simply a formalized
version of the 1.0 rules. I didn't know they were not the same.


Thanks for the quick reply!


You have



    xsl:number result: (<xsl:number level="multiple" count="a"
from="a"/>)



XSLT 1 says:

if the from attribute is specified, then the only ancestors that are
searched are those that are descendants of the nearest ancestor that
matches the from  pattern.

so the only things that are counted are a elements that are descendants
of the nearest a element, and (necessarily) ther are no such elements,
so you get nothing counted.
