position() isn't really 'relative to the parent node'.
It's relative to the list of nodes selected by a particular
select="" attribute.
Here you have a for-each selecting the Section elements
of a particular type. The position() will tell you what
the order is among those selected Section elements.
What you are probably looking for is something like
count(preceding-sibling::Section) instead of position() to get
the number of Section elements occuring prior to the current
node..
