The reason for this will be because the root element is the second
node under the root node in your XML document.  I should have added
the following template, to make sure that the *document element*
is the only child of the root node that has templates applied to it:

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="*" />
</xsl:template>

Either that, or use something other than the position() (which always
reflects the position in the list of nodes that are being processed)
to give the numbering.

I hope that helps,

Jeni
