RE: Iteration position and size

In our implementation, only p:for-each and p:viewport affect the value
of p:iteration-position() and p:iteration-size(). The other built-in
steps use whatever value they inherit. I seem to recall I asked about
this some (long) time ago. I will try to find that e-mail message.
