One more time, thank you very much both of you for your answers and reactivity (even quite early in the morning ;-))
It's all clear now, and really interresting to go deeper in how datatype are handled in XSL.
I'll keep this post in mind for my further XSL dev.


Have a good week end,

Kind regards,
Matthieu.

When the types are not the same, the processor reduces one or both of the sides to a common type. The empty sequence is boolean false, and the empty string is boolean false, so when both are converted to boolean, they are the same.
Not quite. In XSLT 2.0, '=' compares all pairs of values across the two sequences. If there are no pairs, the result is always false. If there are pairs, untypedAtomic values are converted to the other type, and numeric promotion takes place, but you certainly won't see both sides converted to booleans.

Yes, of course, please forgive my haste in answering ... too early in the morning (05:00) and I rushed an answer before attending a teleconference. I really should wait until I've properly started my day.
