Hi Richard,
I cannot say anything definite about which expressions are optimal,
my only remark is that the following too are completely different -- it
is an error to assume they are equivalent in case x and y are
node-sets:
not(x=y) x!=y

not(string(.)) string-length(.)=0
not(x) count(x)=0
not(x=y) x!=y
I always use the expressions in the second column for maintainability,
but I
guess the items in the first column are faster. Is my assumption
correct?
Are there any other performance bottlenecks in common usage?
Richard
