I think few people are likely to notice the difference, but it is worth being aware that string-length() might take linear time rather than constant time because of the need to look for surrogate pairs. Of course this is very implementation-dependent. However, if you're testing the result of a translate() operation, I would think that the cost of calling string-length() is almost certainly less than the cost of calling translate(). Michael Kay
