I've inherited some code that has this type of check to determine if an

normalize-space(string-join($context//text(), '')) != ''

In XSLT 2 I'm pretty sure there's a simpler and/or more efficient way to
do this.


Is there a better way to do this and if so, what is it?

Wouldn't

normalize-space($context) != ''

suffice and do the same?
