position() works as long as your for-each or apply-templates processes 
only the nodes you are interested in to number.
In the more general case (for instance when you process all child 
elements but are only interested in numbering "foo" elements) you would 
use xsl:number (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#number) as in
  <xsl:number count="foo"/>
