For the revision of an article, I used:

 <xsl:value-of select="//revhistory/revision[last()]/revnumber"/>

This assumes that revhistory contains a list of revisions, ordered from
earliest date to latest date, and that the current version of the document
is the last entry in this list.  If it's the other way around, (rev history
lists most-recent to earliest, and the doc is the first entry in the
revhistory list) then I think you could just substitute first() for last()
in the above expression.
