> i know its late in the day re XSLT / XPATH 2.0 drafts, > > but doesnt this scenario sort of 'scream out' for a boolean function > that tests for type, both basic (node, string, number) and schema ? > There is such a construct: e.g. ($x instance of xs:decimal) But in this case, I interpreted the requirement as being not to test whether the attribute had a numeric type (ie. was defined as a number in the schema), but whether its value had the lexical form of a number. The XPath 2.0 construct for this is ($x castable as xs:decimal). Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
