My apologies for asking what must be a relatively common question, but I 
have been unsuccessful in finding it discussed elsewhere -- likely 
because I'm not using the right search terms.

Given XML of the form:

<Season>
   <Episode>
     <Title>First show of first season</Title>
   </Episode>
   <Episode>
     <Title>Second show of first season</Title>
   </Episode>
   <Episode>
     <Title>Third show of first season</Title>
   </Episode>
</Season>
<Season>
   <Episode>
     <Title>First show of second season</Title>
   </Episode>
   <Episode>
     <Title>Second show of second season</Title>
   </Episode>
</Season>


And XSL like this:

<xsl:for-each select="Season">
   <xsl:for-each select="Episode">

     <xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
     <xsl:text>. </xsl:text>
     <xsl:value-of select="Title"/>
     <br/>

   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

Which yields output like this:

1. First show of first season
2. Second show of first season
3. Third show of first season
1. First show of second season
2. Second show of second season

How can I get the numbering to be relative to the entire document, 
instead of the <Season>, like this:

1. First show of first season
2. Second show of first season
3. Third show of first season
4. First show of second season
5. Second show of second season

Thanks for your time and consideration.
