How to count number of attributes used in XML document and their values.

For example, in this document

HTML

<Records>
    <item type="someAtt1">value1</item>
    <item type="someAtt1">value2</item>
    <item role="someRole2">value3</item>
    <item role="someRole">value4</item>
    <item genre="someGenre">value5</item>
</Records>
<Records>
    <item genre="someGenre2">value2</item>
    <item role="someRole">value3</item>
    <item type="someAtt2">value4</item>
    <item role="someRole1">value5</item>
</Records>

The desired results is as follows:

type (someAtt1) =2
type (someAtt2) =1
role (someRole) =2
role (someRole1)=1
role (someRole2) =1
genre (someGenre) = 1
genre (someGenre2) = 1

Do you really need this in XSLT? Do you have 2.0 at least? It is just not for that. Don't you have any programable layer above? The problem is, that you need to have strong assumptions about your XML to use XSLT. The fewer assumtions you can count on, as complicated the transformation will become - if any.
Have a look here: http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/xml/xslt/ch06_02.htm. It has some similarities with your requirement, as it is about grouping also... well, I will try to figure out something, but still... it is just not for that...

Thanks for advice.

Well, I haven't succeeded until now, I I doubt I will have much more time to deal with it. So, again: isn't there any other programmatic way you can use? Why?
