Jim,

At 04:28 PM 3/12/2008, you wrote:

I need to be able to count the preceding cousins and siblings.

In 2.0, count(../../*/*[. << current()]) (assuming you want only elements)

or count(../../*/* intersect preceding::*)

Someone more knowledgeable about inner workings will have to suggest which is likely to be more efficient. I suspect the first one.

Thanks to Wendell for a quick correct solution to the adding hierarchy
problem. I spent three days on it without success.

You're welcome. One is always nervous sending untested code out into the ether -- although mind you, the algorithm was tested (I have faced that problem in the past).

Cheers,
Wendell
