This does not work as there may be other nodes between and before
<fragment>. It might look like this and with your solution I get the
wrong positions.

> <doc>
	<foo/>
> 	<fragment pos="3">...</fragment>
> 	<fragment pos="4">...</fragment>
	<bar>
		..
	</bar>
> 	<fragment pos="11">...</fragment>
> 	...
> </doc>

Yes indeed.

use this tremplate:

<xsl:template match="fragment">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:attribute name="pos"><xsl:value-of
select="position()"/></xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


(in conjunction with this template)
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
