which system did you use?

count((collection('myColl')//elem,collection('myColl2')//elem))

should be the total

(collection('myColl')//elem,collection('myColl2')//elem))/count(.)


is a sequence of 1's. as you have a sequence of elem elements (however 
constructed) followed by /count(.) and count(.) on an element is 1.
