All right, who wants this one?  ;-)

Just kidding.  You can't update XSLT variables once they are bound.
Thinking you need to be able to increment/decrement variables usually
indicates you're attempting a procedural approach to your problem, which
will translate poorly into XSLT.  Perhaps if you explained what you want to
do, we could help you with an XSLT approach.
