You can't. XSLT only sees the document as a tree. The length in bytes is a
property of the original lexical XML, which XSLT never sees. For example,
the length in bytes depends on whether the original encoding was UTF-16 or
UTF-8, and it depends on whether ">" characters were represented as ">" or
as "&gt;".
