You are right the agument is passed as an XmlDocument. Now knowing this, how 
do get the number of nodes in the transform like I would if it was a "real" 
document. If I knew that it was an XmlDocument I could do something like 
$IdenticalList.SelectNodes("/root/list/sku").Count but that is obviously not 
going to work inside a style sheet.
