perhaps you should ask the question again with a working stylesheet.
If by the above you mean ignore

   <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:value-of select="sum(key('counts',max($all))/count(@*))"/>
   </xsl:template>


then the styleheet won't make any passes at all. The variable all will 
not be referenced so (in most systems) will not be evaluated, so the 
only thing that happens would be that the document element is processed 
to produce "stuff" and no further processing will happen.
