One thing I didn't say was that this problem is for BizTalk, where I
have no control over the XML being used. In the end I discovered that
this was what I had to use:
count(/*[local-name()='HesaValidate_Response' and
namespace-uri()='http://HesaValidateSqlSend']/*[local-name()='row' and
namespace-uri()='http://HesaValidateSqlSend'])
Thanks for putting me on the right path by pointing out the fundamental
problem. And I hope this might be useful to somebody else.
Cheers
Peter

Subject: Re: [xsl] Counting records
//row
selects the the elements row in no namespace, which is 0.
You want the elements row in the namespace
http://HesaValidateSqlSend
so that is
//h:row
where some ancestor element 9eg xsl:stylesheet0 has
xmlns:h="http://HesaValidateSqlSend";
In XPath1 you must always use a prefix to select a namespaced element.
You don't really want // eiether as it's rather expensive, it looks like
you want
/h:HesaValidate_Response/h:row
