Not quite. In XSLT 2.0, '=' compares all pairs of values across the
two sequences. If there are no pairs, the result is always false. If
there are pairs, untypedAtomic values are converted to the other
type, and numeric promotion takes place, but you certainly won't see
both sides converted to booleans.
Yes, of course, please forgive my haste in answering ... too early in
the morning (05:00) and I rushed an answer before attending a
teleconference. I really should wait until I've properly started my day.
