I am looping thru looking at the values of a Node.

If Node = B, then B has one of two possible meanings. 
  --If Node = A has been previously found in the file, then the value for A
    should be sent as 1.
  --If Node = A has NOT been found in the file, the the value for A should 
    be sent as 2.

where file is the xml source to be transformed

I cannot figure out how to do this. If I was using a programming language that allowed for a variable to have its value reassigned/changed, then it is easy. But, with XSLT variables are set once.
