Then you would need value="{count(//html:img)}" to get the namespace 
correct for the attribute.

Ah ... that tells me our XSLT processor is not conformant in that it 
is not recognizing an attribute value template in a literal result 
element's attribute.  This surprises me as most XSLT processors are 
very conformant in this regard.  Please check your work.
