It is better to flag an error instead of trying to read minds. If some data is meant to be a date, it is a good idea to have this expressed somewhere, either in a type declaration in a schema, or by using explicit conversion functions in the expression. Explicit type conversions might also be good for optimizations. Regards J.Pietschmann XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
