Note position() counts all the nodes in the current node list
so you may say:
<Data>
<item>value1</item>
<item>value2</item>
<item>i_am_the_last_one</item>
</Data>
but if you are on Data and do <xsl:apply-templates/> then the last node
is a text node consisting of a single #10 newline.
If on the other hand you do <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> then you
only get element nodes in the node list and so position()=last() will be
true on the last item node.
If on the other hand you've specified xsl:strip-space for Data elements
then there won't be any white space text children of data so then the
<xsl:apply-templates/> and <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> would
select the same thing (a set of 3 item nodes)
