However, the latest specs have aligned casting with XML Schema validation, which means that ('non-roman' cast as xs:float) should fail, and "castable as" should therefore return false. Thanks Mike. That will be much appreciated. I'll update the software to match. Meanwhile, I suspect that what you really want is "castable as xs:decimal", which should work OK in the current Saxon. Not being a types type, I hadn't sought out the difference, if its possible in the specs. Alternatively, you could use a regex to test whether the value is numeric, which might be more efficient anyway ("castable as" in its current implementation involves throwing and catching an exception, which is very expensive in Java). and falls over badly when all the other cases are tested for :-) Thanks again, I'll look at that option, hopefully I can get terms from non match targets from the matches! regards DaveP - DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
