XSLT 2.0 currently says > "...based on the position of the context node within its containing document" > which is no more helpful. You're right, it does seem vague, or least it's mixing terminology. I've always interpreted this as the position in the document (as in document order). Does that make sense? Perhaps a more explicit and long-winded description would be better?
