beware foreign terminoligy as it leads to confusion  (on my part at
least)
XSLT and XML don't have records.

position() _never_ relates to the location of a node in a source
tree. It always refers to a position in a current node list
(or sequence in 2.0). That is if you select a node with self:: it always
has position() =1 even if it's the 1001 child of some parent.
