Thanks to all who pointed out the subtleties of the difference between getting back a result tree fragment rather than true boolean output. So here's my next question: Is there a way to achieve the same effect (i.e., not getting a result tree fragment) if you want to set a variable conditionally?

Sorry, I've not been getting enough sleep. Restating my first sentence: I've got a question about Xalan's behavior regarding setting variables explicitly to the results of boolean functions. Restating my example use of the variable: This is not what I was expecting -tfo On Fri, 2003-
