The number of elements within <data> is variable. I need to
calculate
the dataCount attribute from the number of <data> elements.
What is a
good solution for this? I'd rather not use a second transform step
unless absolutely necessary.
Three solutions:
(a) go back to the input document and calculate the information from
that
(b) a two-stage transformation
(c) cheat, by using saxon:assign or similar.
I would go for (b).
