RE: A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as

Hello Mr. Kay,

You are saying..
 "With XSLT 1.0, and with a 2.0 processor in 1.0 mode,
when you pass a sequence to concat() or string() it
will use the first item in the sequence and ignore the
rest". 

IMHO, in XSLT 1.0 mode using sequence as argument to
concat() or string() should give an *error*.. As
argument of type sequence is not allowed on concat()
and string() in XPath 1.0 ..

The new string-join() function is great!

Mukul
