Also, many times you don't actually need the function, since you can
stringify a node set by iterating over it:
<xsl:variable name="RTF-value">
<xsl:for-each select="$node-set">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
Then you might actually want "string($RTF-value)" to get a true string (so
if it's empty it'll test false, as an RTF won't, etc.).

Anyone who has tried the EXSLT concat(node-set) function.
Can I use this to get a string representation of a nodeset?
