Actually, looking through the places where this is used, why can't we 
just have a <c:result> element whose *value* is the relevant value? The 
advantage of this would be that it's easier (shorter XPath) to get to 
the value:

   <p:count />
   <p:choose>
     <p:when test="/p:result > 2">
       ...
     </p:when>
     <p:otherwise>
       ...
     </p:otherwise>
   </p:choose>

What do we gain by specially label those results that are URIs?
