about @count

 the @count attribute for the <group> element is the value for that group
 However:

A. Bug:

  for example:

  deliveries to users, per to-domain, top 30, top 5 users

   logreport.org ............................................... 68
     joostvb at logreport.org                                       23
     people at logreport.org                                        18
     anton at logreport.org                                          7
     egonw at logreport.org                                          5
     Development at logreport.org                                    4

  in this it clearly does *not* sum up to 68, but this is logical
  since not all users are given to whom messages have been sent,
  just the top 5... (For some reason this is however not always 
  correct:

   lists.debian.org ............................................ 13
     debian-l10n-dutch at lists.debian.org                           4
     debian-java at lists.debian.org                                 4 

  in this case there can be two problems:
  1. the software forgot to mention three other target addresses, or
  2. the value for the "group" lists.debian.org is not calculated
     correctly

B. Proposal:

  the attribute name does not correctly reflect its function, and i 
  changed it to value in the upcoming DTD.
