It looks as if you've misunderstood what the preceding-sibling axis does. Need to see your source structure to help you understand why. You also seem to have misunderstood xsl:number. You can use it either to allocate a number or to format a number or both. In your usage, you're doing neither; you'll get the same output as if you used xsl:value-of.
