True but I think his intention if I can understand this gobbledegook
<xsl:if test() ="44639"/> 
was to do a string compare. I just dropped the '' in the cut'n'paste
(the fact that it wasn't in the second mail I posted is irrelevant:-)
and as there was no xsi:type="xs:integer" in the source I don't think it
is fair to assume that a CHARACTER_ID is a numeric ;-)
