Re: XPath to calculate total of attribute values

1. On encountering a TABLE element,
2. examine the first child (guaranteed to be a TR element):
3. count the number of TD elements within the TR (guaranteed the only content),
4. and add to that count the value of every attribute named COLSPAN.

<xsl:template match="TABLE">
	COUNT 1 [ <xsl:value-of select="count(./TR/TD)"/>  ]
</xsl:template>

I can't figure out how to write an XPath expression to calculate
a total of all the TD/@COLSPANs....

Worst yet, I've just moved to Hungary and left Mike Kay's book in London
(what was I thinking?)

Thanks in anticipaiton,
