count(table)

Hi
XML -> HTML transform.
I have 2 table color styles defined in my output CSS.

I would like to alternate the tables color styles across the entire 
document,
i.e. the first table will <table class="primary"> and the second <table 
class="secondary">, alternating right through the document.

But, tables are usually nested inside containers, at a variety of levels 
within the document hierarchy and so an expression such as
 <xsl:variable name="tblclass">
  <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="(position() mod 2) &gt; 
0"><xsl:text>secondary</xsl:text></xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise><xsl:text>primary</xsl:text></xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
 <table class="{$tblclass}">

will only evaluate position() in relation to the current level in the 
hierarchy.

How can I evaluate a position() of a table across the entire document?
Is is the first table in the document or the 32nd?

Does that make sense?
Thanks in advance.
