Yup that seems to be what I've come up with a few minutes 
after posting (*doh*)  What I've done is:
--------------
<xsl:template match="l">
<xsl:variable name="poemnumber"><xsl:number level="any" count="div[@type='poem']"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="linenumber"><xsl:number level="any" from="div[@type='poem']"/></xsl:variable>
<span class="line" id="poem{$poemnumber}line{$linenumber}">
<xsl:apply-templates />
<xsl:if test="$linenumber mod 5 = 0">
<span class="linenumber"><xsl:value-of select="$linenumber"/></span>
</xsl:if>
</span>
</xsl:template>
-------------

Does that seem reasonable?

It appears to give me the required results at least. 

Many thanks David, as always,
