I apparently didn't explain myself well at all.  Sorry about that, here's another attempt:

I have an XML file that represents a file system, and has a flat file structure.
All folder nodes are siblings and all file nodes are children of a folder node.  To represent a folder being within another folder, a file node can be a link to a folder node.

Each folder node has an attribute that indicates how many files it contains.

I want to know how many files are in all the subfolders of a given folder. 

I don't know if this is even possible in xsl 1.0

If it were not a flat file structure, it would seem easier... since I could select all subfolders using  "root/folder[@id="some id"]//folder" and some form of recursive algorithm could probably handle the rest.
