The error isn't recoverable, but it is preventable. Before attempting
the conversion of a string to a dateTime, you can test:
<xsl:if test="$x castable as xs:dateTime">
Thanks Michael, that's what I was missing. This just invokes the lexical
parsing of $x and compares with the lexical requirements for xs:dateTime,
correct? Or is its behavior more determined than that?
Just a minor nit, wouldn't syntactic consistency suggest *castable-as* for the
operator name? Is it really two tokens?
Mike
