your 3b xml file does have line feeds as posted

<genericSiteDoc>
 <cityInstal>India</cityInstal><cityI

so the first child of genericSiteDoc is a text node and the cityInstall
elements
will have positions 2,3,4... if you use select="node()" (which is the
default for apply-templates. you seem to get 2 4 6 which wouldimply that
there is some space or comments that you are not seeing.
Generally it's betterto use an explicit select="cityInstall" if you want
to number with position() so you are sure that you are counting what you
expect, or use xsl:number.
