I have now tried to look at your question three times, and I must say
that I have absolutely no idea what you are asking about.

I would guess that what you need is something like
"count(ancestor::a)" or (after rereading the question yet again)
"count((ancestor::a)[1]/preceding-sibling::a[not(a)])" but this one
will take too many a nodes. You will in this case have to make a
variable: <xsl:variable name="This" select="(ancestor::a)[1]"/>
Then you will need the predicate
[generate-id(following-sibling::a[a])=generate-id($This)]. But there
might be some easier way to achieve this. And I am still totaly unsure
about what you are asking...
