XForms repeat: same element name, different value constraints
I am attempting to edit RDF/XML in XForms (XSLTForms implementation in eXist-db), and I need to enforce different value constraints on elements with the same name within xf:repeat structures. For example, I have a bf:subject element that can take either a default URI as the value of its @rdf:resource attribute or an arbitrary URI that links to some other resource defined in the form (for the sake of brevity I have omitted these from the example provided below).
In an xf:repeat structure, how can I differentiate between elements with the same name? I can handle the first scenario with a predicate that limits the value of the @rdf:resource to the default URI specified in the xf:model, but I can't find a way to achieve differential processing for cases when the @rdf:resource can take an arbitrary URI.
Note: there are no form controls within the 2nd nested xf:repeat because the value of @rdf:resource is updated dynamically using a separate JavaScript library (jsPlumb) that updates the XForms instance.

At present, the default URIs are all coming from the same namespace (http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/...), so a temporary solution is just to filter for that value: not(starts-with(@rdf:resource, 'http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/geographicAreas/')). For the longer term, I'm investigating nomisma.org, which embodies a more sustainable approach to linked data vocab management in XForms.

If you are looking for an XPath way to know if an element is the first or the second child, you could consider using axes, such as in .[preceding-sibling::bf:subject]
