Happy to be the plonker if I'm wrong but:
($seq)/count(.)
will only ever produce a sequence of 1s (or 0 when $seq is empty)...
If you are saying otherwise please provide small complete runnable
sample so I recreate it. (and please really do provide an actual
sample of runnable code that really does show it)
