I'm afraid that using your own not-so-intuitive language instead isn't going
to help you communicate....

I suspect that you want your current("part") function (not to be confused
with the XSLT current() function) to return something like
count(ancestor::part/preceding-sibling::* + 1).

But if you're only testing the result against 1, then you're testing to see
if the element has any preceding siblings, which you can write as:

<xsl:if test="not(ancestor::part/preceding-sibling::* or
ancestor::chapter/preceding-sibling::*)">
