Hi Mike,

Well, there are other benefits in declaring the type. These two
constructs aren't equivalent, because in the first case the processor
knows that the value will always be a string, whereas in the second it's
only a string in the case where it's defaulted.

Okay, good.

we should see similarly that

<xsl:param name="string">string</xsl:param>

is another way of saying

<xsl:param name="string" as="document-node()">
<xsl:document>string</xsl:document>
</xsl:param>

Is this correct?
Yes, that's true.

-- Again, I take it, with the same caveat regarding the declared type of the parameter vs the type of a value assigned by default.

In any case, this should make it easier to explain how the notations are handled differently.

Cheers,
Wendell
