I don't know BizTalk but you said it requires that saying "where I
have no control over the XML being used". However the solutions 
suggested to you did not ask you to change the XML, the simply suggested 
to change the stylesheet to e.g.

<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:df="http://HesaValidateSqlSend";
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    version="1.0">

    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:value-of select="count(/df:HesaValidate_Response/df:row)"/>

If you can change the stylesheet in BizTalk to use the cumbersome

count(/*[local-name()='HesaValidate_Response' and
namespace-uri()='http://HesaValidateSqlSend']/*[local-name()='row' and
namespace-uri()='http://HesaValidateSqlSend'])

why can't you change it as suggested? Both are changes to the stylesheet 
only.

You do not even need to put the namespace declaration on the 
xsl:stylesheet element if you can't change that, doing


<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    version="1.0">

    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:value-of xmlns:df="http://HesaValidateSqlSend";
                    select="count(/df:HesaValidate_Response/df:row)"/>

would suffice as well.
