But once you discover folds (or xsl:iterate) you find yourself using them a lot. I did an (XSD-like) validator in Scala once, and used a fold operation to process a sequence of elements through a finite state machine (with the data passed from one iteration to the next being the state in the machine); the result was a single line of code that did the same thing as about 30 lines of procedural Java code in the Saxon XSD validator. I found it really hard to believe that it could be so simple. Michael Kay Saxonica
