[xsl] XSLT 1.0 and XSLT 2.0 differences in position()?

[Alice Wei <ajwei@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 I have made several attempts to turn my file from XSLT 1.0 to 2.0, 
but I have a strange question about the output. Are there supposed to 
be any differences in this function from 1.0 to 2.0?

In 1.0, my XSL segment:

<xsl:if test="position( ) !=last( )">, </xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="position( )=last()-1">and </xsl:if>

returns with a list of items separated by commas, and ends with and 
instead of a comma in between.

However, when I use the same XSL structure, but with the declaration of 2.0,
it returns with a list of items still separated by commas, but the last 
item on the list has a comma followed by an and.

eg. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (XSLT 1.0)
   1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (XSLT 2.0)

What must I do to get the XSLT 2.0 to have the same output as 1.0?
Thanks to those who can help.

Alice
