and I now by not typing the variables, or, for that matter, the result of my functions.... I'll get a red card from MK for that! <xsl:variable name="root" as="document-node()"> but, when teaching, it is perhaps better to make it explicit. As in a typed language, you don't want a variable that is meant to be a string to be treated as type Object, Any or Base (depending on your language) just because you forgot to add the type. Instead, you teach your pupils to *always* add a type, even when you explicitly want it to be of type Object (or document-node() in the above example). The start of the thread where DC explains it is here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/archives/xsl-list/200607/msg00880.html Aha, so there was some 'David' along the line. Thanks for the pointer! (and the clear explanations). Cheers, -- Abel Braaksma
