*[not(name()=preceding::*/name())]
This should ensure that only the first element with a given name is
processed. Or am I wrong in this?

The full solution would be this:
<xsl:value-of
select="count(*[not(name()=preceding::*/name())][starts-with(translate(name()
,'123456789','000000000'),'WAAUX00')])"/>

But I believe that David already provided a lot more neat solution.
