RE: [xsl] generic method of getting element length

["Clapham, Paul" <pclapham at core-mark dot com>]

XSLT has a "string-length" function that gives you the length of a string.
I don't know what the length of an element might be.

There's only one "brand" of XSLT, and it's the one specified by the Working
Group that specifies these things.  There is a similar language produced by
Microsoft before XSLT was finalized; it is similar in many respects, but
there is no point in trying to write transformations that will work in both
languages.

Anyone know of a generic method og getting the length of an element
within a transformation?
I know that some brands of XSLT have a length method, but is there a way
that would work for all
brands?

Thanks
