It's not a matter if what experts may do, so much as a question of what they see others doing on this list (and especially) on the xquery list. All the uses you gave consisted of doing string manipulations within text content, for that text() can be very reasonable (although you still need to be careful about comments) but that isn't the common use you see, which is using <xsl:value-of select="element-name/text()"/> rather than <xsl:value-of select="element-name"/> especially in a thread with "novice question" in the subject line, it's a reasonable asumption that whatever the answer is, it doesn't need text(). Now you don't count as a novice and probably the originator of the original thread isn't either, but still, that's what it says in the subject line.... David
