This problem is so simple that you don't need
XSLT for it. Here is a script in xmlgawk (tested):

BEGIN                { XMLMODE=1                   }

XMLSTARTELEM  == "A" { inA=1; count ++             }
XMLENDELEM    == "A" { inA=0                       }

XMLCHARDATA   && inA { print "element:", $0        }

END       { print "There are", count, "elements A" }

The script counts elements "A" and prints each of
them to standard output.

The result for this example is:

element:  P0 
element:  P1 
element:  Pn 
There are 3 elements A
