RE: test if null

Also, an aside -- I'm sure there's a reason why some people prefer 
"string-length(.)!=0" to "string()" (or more robustly, 
"normalize-space()") 
-- but I've never been able to guess what it could be.

Slight unease, I think, at relying on implicit type conversion. It feels a
bit sneaky, like using 0 to mean false in C.
