Hi, I know I should know this, but I really have a difficult time wrapping my head around the typing and casting system in XQuery. When casting a value to an xs:integer, the spec says that in the case of decimal, float and double source values, non-fractional parts are dropped. However the section "Casting from xs:string" says "The resulting whitespace-normalized string must be a valid lexical form for the datatype.". So: 5.3 castable as xs:integer => true "5.3" castable as xs:integer => false "5" castable as xs:integer => true Am I right with that? Martin
