It seems logical to me: xsl:for-each-group iterates over the groups, so it makes sense that within the body of the instruction, position() ranges from 1 to last(), and last() gives the number of iterations. This provides a way of numbering the groups, knowing how many groups there are, testing whether the current group is the last, and so on. @country is a property of a node. position() is not a property of a node, it is a property of an iteration over a sequence. So it's reasonable that they should behave differently. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
