Also, string-join(text, '') with the empty quotes feels like a bit of
an abuse of the function - why wasn't there a single argument version
for this purpose?
Perhaps because it's not obvious whether the default separator should be ""
or " " (a single space), so we make the user supply it explicitly.
Ahh of course - I've fallen for this before... I always think the two
arguments of string-join get joined, not that the second argument is a
separator. Arg1 sequence, arg2 string (repeat several times to self).

This complains because one <node> contains two <text> elements,
<xsl:value-of
select="1+count(/root/node[text[contains(.,'def')]]/preceding-sibling::node)"/>
hmmm, too obvious :) I will stick to some and satisfies (unless theres
a good reason no to)
Regarding true()=elem/contains(...) it's also really good using the
slash operator :) but I can't see how to squeeze it in here... (why
the true()= part david?)
You wouldn't need to squeeze it, it would just fit, but the version
michael (I think) suggested using text[contains(. is better.
However,
elem/contains(...) is a sequence of booleans and you want to know
if any of them is true. as always if you want to know if any item
in a sequence is equal to something you canm se = and it does an
implicit quantification over the sequence.
Ok, makes sense now, thanks.
