position() function always returns 0

[Volcoff, Ari]

for the following xml file:
**** test.xml ****
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
        <hello>
                <bye>
                </bye>
        </hello>
</test>

when running the xtags taglibs that use xalan in the following manner:

**** test.jsp ****
<xtags:parse uri="test.xml" />
<xtags:stylesheet>
  <xtags:template match="hello|bye">    
        position:<xtags:valueOf select="position()"/><br>
  </xtags:template>  
</xtags:stylesheet>


**** output ****
position:0<br>

does somebody know of this issue ?
what is the solution ?
