Looks like. In the example you posted, $legacy-ARINC-elmt-value is a string of
six spaces. Consequently $whole-part is a string of 3 spaces. Saxon is
correctly warning you that there is no way that xs:integer($whole-part) can
succeed.

Unfortunately, itbs failing to detect that the expression will never be
evaluated because itbs inside an xsl:if that tests that
$whole-part *is* castable to an integer.

In the short term, itbs a warning not an error so your stylesheet is still
running correctly.
