..thats overly complicated isn't it?  Why not just fill in the values:

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
  <head>
    <script>
      var count = <xsl:value-of select="count(//whatever)"/>;<xsl:text/>
    </script>
  </head>
</html>
</xsl:template>

Gives:

<script>
  var count = n;
</script>

cheers
