[xsl] questions regarding the use of position()

Hi

i got struck with some of my word and if possible i would love some guidelances over it... suppose i have a structure like this....

<Main>
<head>
<eye>green</eye>
<hair>grey</hair>
</head>
<body1>
<arm>left</arm>
</body1>
</Main>

<Main>
....

there are two questions; firstly, is there a way to refer back to the main position when you are looking at its child element? e.g.

<xsl:template match="body1"> the position of main is <xsl:value-of select="position()"/> </xsl:template> this approach will only give the position of the body1, but is there are ways to display the position of main when you are in the body1 template?

secondly, is there are ways of creating an id for the body1 element? (how about the use of xsl:id? not so sure about this)

thanks ever so much

Regards
Kit
