position() and last() should be giving you the info relative to the
sorted set. In the example you're going with, the last node should be
the one with the max value. If it is not, then your XSLT processor is
in violation of http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#sorting which says
"When a template is instantiated by xsl:apply-templates and
xsl:for-each, the current node list list consists of the complete
list of nodes being processed in sorted order."
...and http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Expressions explains that the
current node list determines the context as used by the XPath functions
such as last().
