I propose new PositionExpr `nth-of-type(n)' for XSL. The result of nth-of-type(n) is true if the context node is an element and placed at n-th position in the same element type. It is required for converting from poor-described tag sets. For example, if I wanted to convert from Doc-A(see below) to Doc-B, I wrote a templete like Temp-A. I couldn't find how to select "2nd td element" in current XSL draft.
