Hi!

Can't figure out why the following xml and xsl give the output below. 

XML:
<itemlist>
	<item>
		<name>AAA</name>
	</item>
	<item>
		<name>BBB</name>
	</item>
</itemlist>

XSL:
	<xsl:template match="item">
		<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
		<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
		<p/>
	</xsl:template>

OUT:
2AAA
4BBB


Point of confusion: the position seems to start with 2 and going with an increment of 2. Is this supposed to be like this or is there a bug somewhere in my XSLT?

Can anyone help?

Thanks alot,

Gauti
