You could use the exslt:tokenize extension function with XSLT 1.0, or the
built-in tokenize() function with XSLT 2.0.
Alternatively:
<xsl:variable name="in" select="normalize-space(hey_diddle)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="string-length(translate($in, translate($in, ' ', '')))
+ 1"/>

Subject: [xsl] Count Words
Hello,
Given the following:
=========== xml source ==========
<poem>
<hey_diddle>
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
</hey_diddle>
</poem>
=========== /xml source ==========
How do I count how many words are contained within the node
<hey_diddle/>?
Karl
