Hi Ken, yes I have tried that and the results are the same.

Ouch! I should have said ". castable as element( Book, BookType )" because of course a string cannot have structure. But an element can, so if your current node is an element, then you should check if the node is castable as.


Please forgive my slip in my haste.
