Re: [xsl] max() value of cells in a table

> Used in a straight xsl:value-of, it only returns that's a feature of xsl:value-of not of for though. value-of returns the string value of its argument so you never get a sequence. If you use the xslt2 separator attribute on it though you at least get the string value of all the terms, separated by whatever you specified. > In terms of utility, is it the only way to create > a sequence from source content? no, you could schema-type the content of an element to be a list type, then you'd get a sequence directly. all path expressions like /a/b/c return sequences in xpath2 as node sets are no more. but for is the main operation in xquery, taking on the roles of xsl:for-each and xsl:apply templates, and Xpath2's for is a cut down version of that, so is in some sense the main sequence mapping operation in the current drafts.
