Assuming that all your <A12> were supposed to read <A12/>, you appear to
be counting elements and ignoring all other nodes, in which case the
answer is count(//*).
But from the way you phrase your question, you could probably do with
reading the data model spec a bit more carefully and learning how the
XSLT/XPath tree model works.
