RE: Using count() with a param?

In this case I don't believe that works (I tried it, unsuccessfully so far)
because I am looking for the entire path to a specific node.  In other
words, I don't care how many Record nodes I find, I want to know how many
/Report/Body/Table/Record nodes I find in the document where Report is the
root node.
