No, there is no need to do such strange contortions as required in
imperative languages. If you need to know how many nodes are in a node
set use select="count()" or if it is the current node set (for example
you are inside the for-each, you can use last()

so if you have

<xsl:for-each select="/a/b/c"> ...

Then 
<xsl:value-of select="count(/a/b/c)"/>
and 
<xsl:value-of select="last()"/> 
both return the number of nodes in this set (last() is likely to be more
efficient here, but of course count() is more general as you can count
any node set)
