For XML documents the size is not defined exactly. What is stored on disk is
not the text serialized form, and there are multiple serialized forms for an
XML document.
You can retrieve the document and convert it to a string like
fn:string-length( xs:string(doc("file.xml")))
That should give you something close but is a heavy operation (requires
fetching and serializing the document) and may or may not be the same size as
when you really extract and store the document.
For binary documents see:
http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/5.0/apidocs/Ext-7.html#xdmp:binary-size
But like XML documents you need to extract the document to calculate its size.
Another proposition is to store as a document property the size ... again, for
XML this size is not a constant but a function of the serialization used.
