<xsl:number level="any" count="ITEM[not(../TITLE="Raging River")]"
   format="w" ordinal="yes" lang="en"/>

(the last three attributes give you numbering in the form "first",
"second", "third" if you are using XSLT 2.0).

> ---------------The HTML output should be as follows:
>              1.  This is the first item.
>              2.  This is the second item.
>              3.  This is the third item.
>              4.  This is the fouth item.
