XForms Question

I am experimenting with XForms in Mozilla Firefox.
  I have a how-to question.  Is this the correct forum for such questions?  If not, please advise me on where I should direct my question.
  I have one structure 
  <foos>
    <foo pos="1"/>
    <foo pos="4"/>
    <foo pos="4"/>
  </foos>
  That I would like to bind into another structure
  <bars>
    <bar count="0"/>
    <bar count="0"/>
    <bar count="0"/>
    <bar count="0"/>
  </bars>
  I would like to set a binding on bars/bar/@count to contain the count of all foo's pointing to a bar.
  I am able to accomplish this by explicitly setting a binding on each instance of bar.
  bars/bar[1]/@count --> count(foos/foo/@pos=1)
  bars/bar[2]/@count --> count(foos/foo/@pos=2)
  bars/bar[3]/@count --> count(foos/foo/@pos=3)
  bars/bar[4]/@count --> count(foos/foo/@pos=4)
  But, I would like to set the formula generically for bars/bar/@count.
  What is the correct way to accomplish this?
  I am using O'Reilly's XForms Essentials as a reference.  Can you recommend a better reference for me?
  Thanks, 
  Terry Brady
