How to renumber html4 anchor tags using XSLT2 to reference document page numbers not physical pages?

There are anchor tags on each page of the document that relate back to the TOC, but they are located on the cover page also, so that anchor page 1 is the cover. I need the 3rd physical page (sumpage1) to be anchor page 1. How do I reset the anchor tags to make document page 1 be the 3rd page and the subsequent anchor numbers reset too follow the new sumpage1 numbering?

Desired result:

    <Hpage Hplname="cover">
        <DIV style="padding: 4pt; width: 98%; display: block;">
            <P style="font: 8pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;">

            </P>

    <Hpage Hplname="sumpage1">
        <DIV style="padding: 4pt; width: 98%; display: block;">
            <P style="font: 8pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;">
                <A href="#tocpage">Back to Contents</A>
                <A name="toc1"/>
            </P>

Following sumpage1 page allpagel should be toc2 (and so on):

    <Hpage Hplname="allpagel">
        <DIV style="padding: 4pt; width: 98%; display: block;">
            <P style="font: 8pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;">
                <A href="#tocpage">Back to Contents</A>
                <A name="toc4"/>
            </P>

I guess you can use the identity transformation template

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

plus an empty

<xsl:template match="Hpage[@Hplname = 'cover']//A[@name]"/>

to remove the anchor from the cover and

<xsl:template match="Hpage[not(@Hplname = 'cover')]//A[@name]">
  <xsl:variable name="count" as="xs:integer">
    <xsl:number count="Hpage[not(@Hplname = 'cover')]//A[@name]" level="any"/>
  </xsl:variable>
  <A name="toc{$count}"/>
</xsl:template>

to number the anchors inside the Hpage elements.
