 http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#function-key
 it returns a node-set containing the nodes in the same document as the context node that have a value for the named key equal to this string.

there would be only one element in that node set, so the position can only be 1
so what you wrote is probably not what you expected.

  http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#function-position

does not take any argument.
Nothing replace checking the docs a bit when learning a new language
