xsl:number and XT

[crism at exemplary dot net (Christopher R. Maden)]

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding xsl:number or if there's a small bug
in XT (probably the former).

In a template that matches the title of a section (let's call them <title>
and <section>), I'm trying to number the section.

<xsl:number value="position()" level="single" count="title"/>

gives 2.  This is the default; a simple <xsl:number/> is identical.

Since I want to count <section>s, I specified count:

<xsl:number value="position()" level="single" count="section"/>

According to §7.7:

When level="single", it goes up to the first node in the ancestor-or-self
axis that matches the count pattern, and constructs a list of length one
containing one plus the number of preceding siblings of that ancestor that
match the count pattern.

So it should be counting <section>s.  However, it gives a 2 for every
<section>.  If I change level to "multiple", it works, but it looks to me
like XT isn't behaving correctly with the combination of level="single" and
count="some-ancestor".  What am I missing?
