Michael,
Ok. I thought this might be the problem. I need to use number() on
the string only. When I did that, it worked fine.
I took a look at the number() in your first edition. I gathered that
the function must be used purely and not mixed with other opperands.
However, I regularly write the following:
number($x + 7)
This has not given me any errors and passed by fine in SAXON 7.

I am getting this error.
When I run my stylesheet with SAXON instant 6.5.3, everything
runs
fine without errors. But my friend ran the same stylesheet with
his
SAXON 7 and received this error (below).
Is there some reason why the error only comes up with the SAXON
7?
Rather than
number(substring(A,B,C) - 1000)
you need to write
number(substring(A,B,C)) - 1000
Generally, XPath 2.0 is stricter about type checking than 1.0
(though if you
specify version="1.0" in the xsl:stylesheet element then most
things revert
to the 1.0 rules). If you want to use a string as an arithmetic
operand, you
now have to convert it to a number explicitly. This change allows
operators
to be overloaded to do different things with different data types.

My goodness - such a lot of blood from such a small cut!
This announcement seems to have done something remarkable: at
least
for a moment in one forum it seems to have erased all concerns
about XSLT 2.0 and rallied EVERYONE to it's defense.
How odd: until we saw this I heard quite a few concerns about
XSLT 2.0 and have had several conversations with developers I
respect who said that they were thinking of sticking with
XSLT 1.0 because the gains in 2.0 (for their applications) were
not worth the losses. Now all of a sudden non-adoption of
XSLT 2.0 is "killing xslt".
Perhaps the folks at Microsoft were concerned that they would
be
criticized for adopting a controversial spec like XSLT 2.0 so
they
decided to rally support for it by announcing that they were
not
going to support it. Then they could change their minds and be
heros instead of goats. ... Nahhhh. But it sounds good.
