How this was counted

Counted on November 4, 2026. Each element in the Akoma Ntoso namespace counts once wherever it appears, including in metadata. Each attribute counts once on every element that carries it. Comments and namespace declarations are not counted. The list of defined elements comes from the global element declarations in the schema. The list of defined attributes comes from the attribute declarations in the schema, plus the xml:lang, xml:space and xml:id attributes it references. All 24 documents validate against the schema. The documents were converted by Claude at my direction. They are generated renditions for reading and study, not authoritative texts.
