Counting matching elements across two documents

2005-01-17 07:18:34
I process two documents with this stylesheet. The main document is a file 
called "matches.xml". The secondary document is a file called "roster.xml" 
(accessed via the document() function). The structures of the two input 
documents are:

matches.xml
===========
<matches>
  <week>
    <number>1</number>
    <match>
      <race-to>60</race-to>
      <player>
        <number>1</number>
        <spot>0</spot>
        <score>51</score>
        <lag>L</lag>
        <paid>2.50</paid>
      </player>
      <player>
        <number>2</number>
        <spot>16</spot>
        <score>60</score>
        <lag>W</lag>
        <paid>5</paid>
      </player>
    </match>
    &lt;!-- More matches here --&gt;
  <week>
  &lt;!-- More weeks here --&gt;
</matches>

roster.xml
===========
<players>
  <player established="yes" >
    <number>5</number>
    <lname>Knell</lname>
    <fname>Charles</fname>
    <handy-cap-history>
      <rating week-num="1">55.0</rating>
    </handy-cap-history>
  </player>
  &lt;!-- More players here --&gt;
</players>

The section of the stylesheet that's giving me problems is this:
================================================================
<xsl:for-each select="$roster/players/player">
  <xsl:sort select="lname" data-type="text" order="ascending" />
  <tr><td><xsl:value-of select="concat(lname,', ', fname)" 
/></td><td><xsl:value-of select="count(//player[number = ./number])" 
/></td></tr>
</xsl:for-each>

The shorthand way of saying what I'm looking for is "I want to count all the 
W's for each player." 

A more detailed, but more long-winded explanation is, I am trying to count all 
the "/matches/week/match/player/lag" elements with a value of "W" for each 
"$roster/players/player" element where the value of the "number" child of the 
current "$roster/players/player" matches any 
"/matches/week/match/player/number" element, but so far I can't work out the 
proper XPath expression. I have been successful in returning the total number 
of players in the roster or the total number of matches played, unfortunately, 
neither is what I'm looking for.

Can someone point out the correct XPath expression, please?
