Thanks Michael, I take your word for it and won't hammer on this
same issue more without more examples. I am also awaiting your
next Saxon release before I try to migrate again (and then will
take it slowly.)
If all untyped nodes will behave like they did in the olden days
then I should be safe if I don't add a schema declaring any
types (whihc I won't.) Certainly there may still be issues with
things like
string-pad(' ', @indent + 2)
because this would @indent + 2 would probably result in an
xs:decimal and not an xs:integer and then there would still be
complaints.
