I solved the problem in a "brute force" method of counting iteratively during the process of compiling the XML file and writing out the <length> tag before each major closing tag. This is actually a nifty technique because accessing the size of a cluster of elements works just like OOP convention of (something).length - though "length" is sometimes followed by empty parenthesis.
