good point however use 

 empty($seq)…

and not count

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) &lt; 2 or ...

-W

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?
