Re: [xsl] Add numbers

xsl-list group-think in action. Beware if you spend too long on this
list, you may be assimilated too....





This is true in XSLT1 but putting it in anyway is a good idea as it
makes it a bit more explicit and more importantly it keeps the code
working if you ever upgrade the stylesheet to XSLT2 (where passing
multiple values to string functions is an error unless backward
compatibility mode is in force)

I would recommend using the "[1]", because then your code won't throw an
error when the stylesheet is upgraded to version="2.0". Also, I think it's
good generally not to rely on the implicit discarding of items in a sequence
after the first, simply because it makes your code clearer to make it
explicit.
