Where did you get that from?

In the latest WD I read:

"In a sequence of nodes selected by an axis step, each node is assigned a
context position that corresponds to its position in the sequence. If the
axis is a forward axis, context positions are assigned to the nodes in
document order, starting with 1. If the axis is a reverse axis, context
positions are assigned to the nodes in reverse document order, starting with
1. This makes it possible to select a node from the sequence by specifying
its position."

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#axes


and this is essentially the same as in XPath 1.0

So, starting from the "fu" element libxslt is wrong in both cases -- 
regardless if it is
following the rules of XPath 1.0 or those of XPath 2.0.
