This may be inefficient (depending on the XPath engine being used).
I think the following has better chances of being more efficient --
write an xsl:function, name it, say, "increasing". The body of this
function can be just:
not($seq[2]) or $seq[1] lt $seq[2] and increasing(subsequence($seq,
2))
It would appear that this makes -1,0,2,1 an ascending sequence. I dislike
this "empty-is-false trick" - once in a while you get bitten.
count($seq) < 2 or ...

A similar problem as before, is the integer sequence increasing?
this is my solution:
every $v in 1 to (count($sequence)-1) satisfies ($sequence[$v] lt
$sequence[$v+1])
Do you have a better one?
