I ran this test with SAXON 7_8

<xsl:value-of select="string(9) = string(09)"/>

Output: true

Shouldn't the output be: false?

if the number is an integer, the number is represented in decimal form as a Number with no decimal point and no leading zeros, preceded by a minus sign (-) if the number is negative [XPath 4.2]

I hope this helps,
Wendell
