Jeni,
Jeni Tennison wrote: I understand your concern. I'm pretty familiar with XML Schema now, but I'm not relishing the prospect of having to get my head around the XQuery Semantics and the XPath/XQuery regulations about how different types are cast to each other -- which casts are possible and which aren't, what kind of durations and date/times I can compare with each other and what it'll mean when I do, and so on -- and the names of all those new functions. Thanks for the tip! I'll most certainly do that (although I fear that "I'd like to be spared of 80% of the spec" is not exactly what the WG would like to hear...). What you're saying is really food for though: if you of all people are having a hard time "getting your head around" the intricacies of the type system in XSLT 2, what are my (and other, more average Joes' out there) chances? And even if I did take 6 months off for quality time with XQuery semantics and friends, what good would it do me (besides the obvious bragging rights)? Heck, I can't even quite grasp what that PSVI thingy is supposed to be (it's one of those "almost, but in reality: no" things). Since all the other stuff seems to be built on that, I'll admit that my chances look quite slim. Thanks again, /dan XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
