Thanks Tony for further clarification. I have been in rush and haven't
time to comment much on my example. For positioning of thumb index the
following code is cruical:

<xsl:attribute name="top">
        <xsl:value-of select="(count(preceding::d:chapter |
preceding::d:appendix | preceding::d:preface |
preceding::d:bibliography) mod 7) * 28 + 18"/>
        <xsl:text>mm</xsl:text>
      </xsl:attribute>

mod 7 -- means that after each 7 chapters/appendices/... thumb index
will be moved back to the top of a page

28 -- is height of thumb index (in mm)

18 -- is intial offset (in mm)
