 <xsl:if test="bit 7 of Flags is 1">
   ...

Is anybody has some magic soluction?

The XPath 1.0 data model only maintains strings for attribute values.

Any testing you need to do will have to treat the attribute as a string value, and decode what you want from that string, which includes converting the string to a number if you need to.

I'm not at all sure what you are asking for when you ask about a bit being set ... I associate that with bits of a byte or word expressed typically in decimal or hex.

I hope this helps.
