Actually it's quite tricky if you want to have a function/template that both returns a modified version of the source tree with new numbers inserted, and also returns the latest number used. Returning two results using maps is possible, but not easy. Computing the numbers is ideally done by a fold operation that processes all the nodes in the tree in document order, and XSLT 3.0 accumulators are essentially syntactic sugar for such a fold operation.
