That tests whether it's a non-zero number, which isn't what was asked for.
 

I think his requests were not so specific...I would still advise people
use this, makes xsl code *much* more readable, and all one has to do is
avoid using 0, which yes is a real number...and its an old habit of mine
to avoid using tests on the number 0.
