Ian,

Your alpha string doesn't contain the substring '1a' -- can you say
why you expect to get true? maybe we can help you test what you
actually want to test.

Ah -- testing for presence of alphabetical characters -- in XPath 1.0,

not(string-length($cont) = string-length(translate($cont,$alpha,''))

or

contains(translate($cont, $alpha, 'x'), 'x')

I've heard that string-length() can get expensive because of
multi-byte characters, although I would've thought translate()
sufferered from the same problem...
