Hi,

for counting you would use something like

  <xsl:value-of select="count('POD/SomeNode/NodesToCount')" />

For the 2nd instance of the "Details" element within a POD element

   <xsl:value-of select="POD/Details[2]" />

For the sum of all POD/Detail lines (if the value of that node
contains a numeric)

   <xsl:value-of select="sum(POD/Details)" />

Hope this helps,

Marvin Smit.
