If we are going to pick nits then it should be

Note that grep -c counts matching *lines*. There is no formal
requirement that these elements appear on separate lines.

Dave,

my first one-liner suffers from the same (also only counts lines)

Here's a slightly more complex Perl one-liner that counts *occurences*

perl -lne '$n++ for /<employee>/g; END {print $n}' somefile.xml

Bob,

thanks, I thought about the -n option, but missed the END block idea to
finally print the sum.

(And again, problems that seem to be trivial are not in many cases...)
