Thanks Michael, I take your word for it and won't hammer on this same issue more without more examples. I am also awaiting your next Saxon release before I try to migrate again (and then will take it slowly.)
If all untyped nodes will behave like they did in the olden days then I should be safe if I don't add a schema declaring any types (whihc I won't.) Certainly there may still be issues with things like
because this would @indent + 2 would probably result in an xs:decimal and not an xs:integer and then there would still be complaints.
