Re: does position () work with old MS namespace

Yeah that's not going to work. I should have clarified that you can only
use [1] when you're selecting nodes to process (as in apply-templates or
for-each), like /path/to/some/nodes[1] will be the node at position 1 from
among the set selected by /path/to/some/nodes.

If the position you want is relative to nodes that have already been
selected (the current node list, in the context)... then position() is
required. Perhaps MSXML has an alternative you can use. I'd check the docs
at msdn.microsoft.com.
