Re: flatten tree

Thanks, Michael,

sounds great (I will need some time to digest this chunky boolean ;))!

The reason why I am using my own lang definition (and it is using
xs:language as datatype, too) is, that my trials just gave me errors
and subsequentially I did not find any good (understandable and
reality oriented) information on the subject. And my fix worked well.
But hints are gladly welcome!
