None Node XPath results

I've been implementing support for none Node XPath results, which I have
working to an extent.

My sticking point is this. If I query 'count(//foo)' on a collection with
say 5 documents should there be 5 result nodes or should there be one
aggregated node?

Unfortunatly the spec is a little unclear:

"Run an XPath query against the Collection. The XPath will be applied to
all XML resources stored in the Collection. The result is a ResourceSet
containing the results of the query. Any namespaces used in the query
string will be evaluated using the mappings setup using setNamespace."

Thoughts?

-k.
