Subject: Re: [xsl] [XSLT 2.0] Checking that an element's value has the desired datatype? From: "Dimitre Novatchev" <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 10:09:44 -0700 |
Excellent! With this:
matches(flt:Aircraft/flt:Altitude, '[0-9]+')
I can do datatype checking, without using XML Schemas.
This only determines that a value is castable to a subset of values of the xs:integer type.
The real type of the value may be quite different, for example the xml schema associated with this xml document may define it to be an xs:string, and the fact that this instance just happens to be castable to an xs:integer may be accidental.
We have the same in XSLT 1.0 -- for example an <xsl:sort/> instruction will sort all sort key values as strings (regardless of the fact that all they may be interpretable as numbers) unless explicitly directed otherwise by specifying the attribute
