RE: [xsl] Number of nodes in a document.

["Michael Kay" <michael dot h dot kay at ntlworld dot com>]

I had some difficulty working out how you calculate 3 as the number of
nodes in this document: I counted 41. I assume you want the number of
<vector> elements, or the number of grandchildren of the root node,
which you can obtain as count(/*/*).
