Absolutely ... that was why I asked for clarification and stated my 
assumptions for your data.  You happened to enumerate each element 
name in your example.

   <options>
     <option>1</option>
     <option>0</option>
     <option>1</option>
     <option>0</option>
   </options>

Indeed ... and you can change your focus to each option and build 
your table rows quite easily:

<xsl:for-each test="option[.=1]">
   <fo:table-row>
     <fo:table-cell>
       <fo:block>
         <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::option[.=1])+1"/>
       </fo:block>
     </fo:table-cell>
     <fo:table-cell>
       <fo:block>1</fo:block>
     </fo:table-cell
   </fo:table-row>
</xsl:for-each>

No apology necessary ... we can only help based on the information we 
are given.
