now it's doing what I want it do with MediaWiki API (i.e producing csv of titles and URLs):
xmlstarlet sel -N x="http://opensearch.org/searchsuggest2" -t -m "//x:Item" -v "x:Text" -o ", " -v "x:Description" -o ", " -v "x:Url" -n bullwinkle.xml
Thanks again.

If you define namespace alias (in your case "x"), you also have to actually use it in the query:
xmlstarlet sel -N x=http://opensearch.org/searchsuggest2 -t -v 'count(/x:SearchSuggestion/x:Section/x:Item)' bullwinkle.xml
The command above works for me and returns "7".
And as far as I know, you have to use namespace aliases when working with XPath.

that doesn't work (null response). not sure whether it's xpath or my
lack of
understanding of xmlstarlet.

count(/SearchSuggestion/Section/@Item)
That's looking for the "Item" in <Section Item="...">, of which none exist in the document. Lose the @ and it might work.
