Thanks Olivier!

That was the solution I was looking for, counting sequence elements.

While DataPower XSLT processor is still XSLT 1.0 + EXSLT, last December
XQuery 1.0 and JSONiq 0.4.42 support was added to v6.0 appliance firmware.
(DataPower standalone processor for DataPower developers only).

$ xj --xquery count.xq dummy.xml ; echo
814
$
$ java net.sf.saxon.Query -q:count.xq ; echo
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>814
$

Did you try to replace
concat( a, b, … )
 with
count(( b, b, … ))
?
