The separate test also means that you can do things like have separate messages if a value that should be an integer is a number but not an integer or is not a number at all. Despite that, there's still use for sch:let/@as. focheck [1] has hundreds of: <let name="expression" value="ahf:parser-runner(.)"/> where ahf:parser-runner() is: <!-- ahf:parser-runner($input as xs:string) as element()+ --> <!-- Runs the REx-generated parser on $input then reduces the parse tree to a XSL 1.1 datatype. Uses @saxon:memo-function extension to memorize return values (when used with Saxon PE or Saxon EE) to avoid reparsing the same strings again and again when this is used as part of validating an entire XSL-FO document. --> <xsl:function name="ahf:parser-runner" as="element()+" saxon:memo-function="yes" xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/" > <xsl:param name="input" as="xs:string" /> ... </xsl:function> The result from 'ahf:parser-runner(.)' will only ever be 'element()+', but this makes focheck run that tiny bit faster, then I'm all for it: <let name="expression" value="ahf:parser-runner(.)" as="element()+"/> Regards, Tony Graham. -- Senior Architect XML Division Antenna House, Inc. ---- Skerries, Ireland tgraham@antenna.co.jp [1] https://github.com/AntennaHouse/focheck
