I don't see the link between concat id + ".xml" and the <xsl:value-of
select="document($theFileName)..."/>
$theFileName is not a node set, no ?
That's right: if you use concat (or a xsl:variable with content) then
$theFileName is only a string and so document() will only load one file,
but if your attributes had the full file name then you could do
document(ME/@id)
and now the argument to document() _is_ a node set of all the id
attributes of all your ME elements, and in that case document() loads
_all_ of the referenced files in one go.
assuming your processor has a node-set() extension (most do) then
since you don't want to change your input you just need to go
<xsl:variable name="addxml">
<xsl:for-each select="ME">
<ME id="{(_at_)id}(_dot_)xml"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
then
select="count(document(saxon:node-set($addxml)/ME/@id)/ME/FOURN/DEVOIR"/>
is the number you are after, if you are not using saxon replace
saxon:node-set by your system's node set extension function.
