Also, is there any real advantage to specifying as="element()" other
then readability/documentation?  You've recently discussed the
advantages of doing this for non-element data types (e.g. numeric
functions).  Are there similar advantages for element()?
Thanks,

  Just out of interest, why do you pass the $item param here?
Because I changed the design half way through.
