[xsl] Current node position

[jwhitney <jwhitney@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm trying to generate html code for "Date 1 of 2", "Date 2 of 2", etc., from 
XML as below:

<a>
   <b/>
   <c/>
   <date>text</date>
   <date>text again</date>
</a>

from within a template that matches "d".  The following stylesheet fragment:

<xsl:template match="d">
  <xsl:value-of select="position()" />
  <xsl:text> of </xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="count(../date)" />
</xsl:template>

produces "3 of 2" and "4 of 2".  Is there a way to restrict position() to 
evaluate the <date> nodes only?  How else could it be done?

I'm new to XSLT, obviously.   Thanks in advance for any help with this.
