Re:  Quiz: how many namespaces are in scope?
  I dont belive thats teh same thing as saying there are 21 'namespace 
nodes'
The question being answered by

$ xpath++ "count(//namespace::*)" nlist.xml


Is (IMHO)
    SUM (
       For each Node
          Count the number of active namespace declarations
    )


Well maybe its pedantic asking of thast a unique 'node' or not.
