I need to create unique id's for DIVs for each instance of <foo>
within each instance of <baras follows. I iterate through both the
bars and foos via <apply-templates/>. I've tried to use position() but
that reflects the current <bar>, not the current <foo>.

========= sample xml =============== =

<root>
<bar>
<foo>blah, blah, blah</foo>
<foo>bebop, smooth, cool, swing, super cool</foo>
</bar>
<bar>
<foo>baroque, classical, modern</foo>
<foo>chicago, delta</foo>
</bar>
</root>
=============== =============== ====

========= sample html =============== =
page generated for the first <barinstance:
<html>
<body>
<div id="foo1">blah , blah, blah</div>
<div id="foo2">bebop , smooth, cool, swing, super cool</div>
</body>
</html>

page generated for the second <barinstance:
<html>
<body>
<div id="foo1">baroq ue, classical, modern</div>
<div id="foo2">chica go, delta</div>
</body>
</html>
=============== =============== ===

Use generate-id().

If you really need the position of <foowithin the whole document,
you could use count(preceding ::foo), but it will be potentially
very slow.
