Hello,

The boolean() function behaves in a way I don't understand when given an empty variable as argument. I was hoping one of you could explain it to me.

Take the following two variables:

<xsl:variable name="empty1"></xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="empty2">
<xsl:if test="false()">
<xsl:value-of select=" 'some non-empty string' "/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>


It's explained in excruciating detail at
