   As your error message states: "attribute values may not contain 
'<'".  The dereferencing works as the others posted, but I prefer actual 
symbols for readability.  You can reverse the arguments and the symbol and 
it will work just fine.  Try:

<xsl:if test="position() >= 2 and 3 >= position()">
   <!-- -->
</xsl:if>
