If umbraco doesn't have that; it should: +1

How do you mean? If listing items with xslt you just use the position() and count() functions to determine your position in an iteration.....

As Darren says, it's a simple thing to do in xslt using the position() and last() functions.  I prefer last() but you could certainly use count() if you prefer.

The basic idea would be something like this...

<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="_something_here_">
    <li>
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="position() = 1">
                <xsl:attribute name="class">first</xsl:attribute>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:when test="position() = last()">
                <xsl:attribute name="class">last</xsl:attribute>
            </xsl:when>
        </xsl:choose>
        <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName" />
    </li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>

The output for a loop of four items would be something like this...

<ul>
    <li class="first">item 1</li>
    <li>item 2</li>
    <li>item 3</li>
    <li class="last">item 4</li>
</ul>

Cool -- thanks for the tip -- just another square-peg php-approach to this elegant solution. I retract my +1.
