Example
A simple example using the count attributes:
This returns
"1 category" or "9 categories" or "No category".
List categories containing entries with a count:
<ul>
<mt:Categories>
<li>
<a href="<mt:ArchiveLink type="Category">">
<mt:CategoryLabel></a> (<mt:CategoryCount>)
</li>
</mt:Categories>
</ul>
List categories named “Bug Fixes” along with the number of published articles:
<mt:Categories>
<mt:If tag="CategoryLabel" eq="Bug Fixes">
<mt:CategoryLabel> has
<mt:CategoryCount singular="1 article"
plural="# articles" none="No articles">.
</mt:If>
</mt:Categories>

The technique that Gautam suggested works. I added the attributes to the documentation and provided an additional example.
