after a little bit of thinking, decided regexps might be a better way to

even a basic processor (like saxon 8.x B) has access to the basic schema
numeric types integer, double, float etc.
thx david...I was under the impression that XSLT 2.0 basic didnt adopt
any XML Schema stuff.....yuk
the test number(.)=number(.) which works in XSLT1 as well of course is
still good, even for 2.0.
sigh....and I contend why should we live with such arcane
incantations....e.g. XSLT 2.0 grouping stuff seems to have banished most
of this type of black magic...these are real barriers to understanding
for newcomers.
I wanted to return a boolean
type...but found doing something like <xsl:value-of select="true()"/> to
be awkward.
thx....and I have just discovered the as attribute on the
xsl:function...cool
cheers, Jim Fuller
