Does anyone know if you can get the depth of an element or node using XSL?

Thanks,

<xsl:value-of select="count(descendant::*)" />

I think you mean <xsl:value-of select=3D"count(ancestor::*)" />

No, I mean descendant as in all children of the context node.

Clearly we have a different understanding of what is meant by 'depth'.
I have always needed this info in the context of 'how deep is the
current node' rather than 'how deep is the tree under the current
node'.
