You're right, from the XT doc (http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html) :

Types are mapped between XSLT and Java as follows:

 XSLT type              Java type
 string                 java.lang.String
 number                 double
 boolean                boolean
 node-set               com.jclark.xsl.om.NodeIterator
 result tree fragment   com.jclark.xsl.sax.ResultTreeFragment

A result tree fragment is nothing but a result tree fragment ;=)

To get the value, you'll have to parse it through sax events.

An easier way, if you can do it, would be to change your XSL to
something like :

<xsl:param name="stacked" select="'0'"/> where you should have some
influence on the type...

I am still looking for these XT specific resources and still thinking
some kind of XT users group would be welcome even if I got very few
answers the last time I have submitted the idea :=(
