[xsl] Determine if an element with descents has complete empty text content

2016-10-02 07:15:48
I've inherited some code that has this type of check to determine if an
element with arbitrary possible subelements has completely empty text
content:

normalize-space(string-join($context//text(), '')) != ''

In XSLT 2 I'm pretty sure there's a simpler and/or more efficient way to
do this. 


Is there a better way to do this and if so, what is it?

Thanks,

Eliot
