Best Practice: use @as wherever possible

If you can express the condition with an @as attribute,
use that in preference to an xsl:assert, because it's much
more amenable to static analysis - certainly with Saxon,
xsl:assert will only ever give you a run-time error. The
diagnostics for type errors will also tend to be better.

Fantastic!

Thank you Michael.
