I want an XPath 2.0 expression that outputs "do action" if the B field
is empty, regardless of which of the two XML representations is used.
This XPath expression seems to work:
if (not(B) or B eq '') then "do action" else "no action"
This gives you the same result:
if (not(string(B))) then "do action" else "no action"
You could also use
if (not(boolean(B))) then "do action" else "no action"
which exploits empty strings being false().
Though that's definitely the sort of logic that should get a comment
explaining to your future self what you're going.
