I see. This is bad news for me. I have to see how else I could solve
that.

Thanks,

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;".
