Writing a style sheet and wanting to test a node value to see

</xsl:if>

(or in 2.0, ". castable as xs:decimal" - or xs:integer, xs:double etc if
preferred)
 

i know its late in the day re XSLT / XPATH 2.0 drafts,

but doesnt this scenario sort of 'scream out' for a boolean function
that tests for type, both basic (node, string, number) and schema ?
