This method uses pipes. Haven't tried it yet but seems it will work.
Any similar ideas for taking input from a string or some memory buffer instead of files??

hxcount
HXCOUNT(1) HTML-XML-utils HXCOUNT(1)
NAME
hxcount - count elements and attributes in HTML or XML files
SYNOPSIS
hxcount [ file-or-URL ]
DESCRIPTION
The hxcount command counts the number of elements and attributes of each type that appears in the input and prints a report on stdout.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
file-or-URL
The name or URL of an HTML or XML file. If absent, standard input is read instead.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
> 0 An error occurred in the parsing of the HTML or XML file. hxcount will try to recover from the error and produce output anyway.
ENVIRONMENT
To use a proxy to retrieve remote files, set the environment variables http_proxy and ftp_proxy. E.g., http_proxy="http://localhost:8080/"
BUGS
Don't trust the output if there were errors in the input.
Remote files (specified with a URL) are currently only supported for HTTP. Password-protected files or files that depend on HTTP "cookies"
are not handled. (You can use tools such as curl(1) or wget(1) to retrieve such files.)
