I think an approach based on explicit range variables would have been less
error-prone, though it would have increased verbosity.
<xsl:for-each select="$node-set" as="$n" position="$p" size="$s">
Node {$p} of {$s} has value {string($n)};
</xsl:for-each>
Of course it's too late to change it now. There are going to be new
problems, unfortunately, with the mixing of context item and range variable
concepts at XPath 2.0. But I think they are inevitable, you can't do a
general join without range variables.
