XQuery constantly surprises me !
Today I was looking for a more concise way of testing if a string is empty or
blank.
The best I came up with is
empty($s) or $s eq ''
or
string-length($s) eq 0
But along the way discovered this
if( () eq () ) then 1 else 2
if( () = () ) then 1 else 2
Returns 2 !!!
Of course in hindsight and fine-print its correct, but entirely non-obvious to
my eye ...
Well back to work !
