I need to allow 0 or more of a particular node in a schema (call it ADDRESS
so there can be multiple addresses in the schema).
How do I tell if it is present?  How do I tell how many there are?  And
since I can't promote it in anyway, how can I manage the contents within
the orchestration??

Do you have a map in your orchestration?

If so, you can do a recordcount on that node using a fuctoid

Thanks... that gives me some idea of a direction to head.  It makes me
think that dealing with the multiple records might be done in the map...
like putting these into separate Database records, or iterating over them
to process the information ??
I will keep tinkering and see if I can learn how to manage this.

Sure.

Unless you need to transform the data into something else for a reason
(delivery, et al), the map shouldnt really be used.

Another, likely better option, is to send the message into the business
rules engine using the "exists" condition on the node that may or may not be
there.  Then you can even call a database.

Likely you can also use the expression shape to do an xml logical existence.
Create a variable as a sys.xml.xmldocument and check the intellisense to see
if an appropriate method is there.  If so, you can check it there, and take
a decision shape on the result, or whatever
