Can we have node count on each node

[ghost]

Please provide node count on each node

[lovettchris]

Ok, there are lots of different ways one could do this, can you clarify? You want some sort of "stats" about the number of repeated nodes? Is that nodes in a similar position (.e.g all instances of "c" that match the path "/a/b/c") or is that just all nodes with the same name "c" anywhere in the tree? For example, one way to do this would be to infer the XSD schema then count the number of times each type in the schema is being used. If there is a real XSD schema, then use that and report the stats. Then do you really want the stats on screen all the time, or do you want a separate page reporting the stats for the entire schema? Then there's lots of other interesting stats we could throw in for free, like total amount of text, total number of nodes, number of attributes, averages, etc, etc... I actually have an xmlstats package that produces a report like this:

Did hear anything back from you, so I added this "xml stats" report under the View menu. Hope it helps.
