Indeed. Problems like this are simplified greatly (both for ourselves 
and for the poor machine) by breaking them out into pipelines.

You could do what Liam says, or you could add flags to (only) the 
ancestors within which you want the counts to be scoped, so xsl:number 
doesn't have to work so hard.

Cheers,
Wendell
