Oh (Eric), I forgot to add....

Is kind of odd. For one, check out the last() function -- means you don't 
need that $number variable. Also, could (should) be an xsl:choose since 
they're exclusive conditions. Or, more simply:

  <xsl:for-each select="link">
   <a href="{@href}" style="color:#{$color}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a>
    <xsl:if test="position() != last()">
      <xsl:text> | </xsl:text>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>

See what I mean? :->

Cheers,
Wendell
