I was referring an obvious omission in the MSXSL Technology Preview Release,
not an architectural limitation.

		Concerning the messages of Marsh and Barre, surely all one
needs to do is
		process the given XML document with an architecturally aware
process, where <name>, and
		<status> inherit from the same element in the architectural
DTD, and have XSL report the child number
		in the transformed document. Or will one not be allowed to
transform documents before
		styling them?

				Imagine I have the following XML instance :

				<?xml version="1.0"?>

				<description>
				  <document>
				    <name>a name</name>
				    <status>a status</status>
				    <name>a name</name>
				  </document>
				</description>

				I want to get something like :

				1 description
				1.1 document
				1.1.1 name
				1.1.2 status
				1.1.3 name


				'path(this)' can't give me what I want.
				path gives me :
				1 description
				1.1 document
				1.1.1 name
				1.1.1 status  // <= that's not what I want

				I can't figure out how to do that. Is there
any other
		solution ?

				Note : I use MSXSL.Exe.
