You input is a bit odd though, decide how it would look normlized and
then work from there, eg:

<root>
      <a>a</a>
      <a>a</a>
      <a>a</a>
      <a>a</a>
      <b>
              <bb>bb1</bb>
              <bb>bb2</bb>
              <bb>bb3</bb>
              <bb>bb4</bb>
      </b>
      <c>
              <cc>
                      <ccc>ccc1</ccc>
              </cc>
              <cc>
                      <ccc>ccc2</ccc>
              </cc>
      </c>

What would happen to the c's?  Would you get 4 <c>s, 4 <cc>s or 4
<ccc>s?  Are the <a>s correct?  It's not obvious.

As far as I can see, it is only the leaf nodes that should be countet.
That is, only a, bb, ccc and dd elements.

There was a post within a month time that had the same kind of problem
- going recursively through the nodes getting a grouped output like
the one that you try getting. I could not find the thread - I think
David Carlisle answered with a solution.

I would - as Andrew said - split it into two problems: one, getting
the xml in the required format, two: as simple transformation into the
csv that you want.
