You sound as if that expresses the reason, but I fail to understand
what reason it is. Don't elements in a sequence have a position()?

Works indeed, but like I said I do not understand what difference your
correction makes. Besides, I've read again and again that declaring
the type of variables is good practice, and it has indeed helped me
detect errors that I would not have otherwise. If I shouldn't be
declaring that variable as node()+, what type would be appropriate?
