Hi David,
At 03:49 PM 7/14/2006, you wrote: but if the let clause is binding the variable to a sequence of zero or more than one items there is no way to bind that sequence to a variable in Xpath. All the XPath binding expressions, namely for, some, every iterate through a sequence and bind the variable to (at eaxh iteration) a single item. This is often annoying (if you get annoyed by such things). So -- if I follow you -- nesting a for expression is a workaround for this gap only some of the time? In line with the question whether to prefer XPath or XSLT logic, can we see an example where we'd actually prefer to do it in XPath if we could? (I'd welcome entries from anyone.) Cheers, Wendell
