["Steve Muench" <smuench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

|    substring($string, 1 div number($condition))
| (Note: works with Saxon and XT, but not with my versions of Xalan and
| Oracle XSL - but I've not installed the latest versions ...)

OracleXSL 2.0.2.9 currently hiccups on:

  substring('A','Infinity')

I've filed a bug to get this fixed.

XT, Saxon, MSXSL3 return the empty string.
