2_2_D6 -> 2_4_0 xsl migration problem

[Anton Straka <an...@abilitydev.com>]

Hi. 

I'm sorry for this question, but I didn't find answer on the mailing list. 

I have a xsl, which was runing OK in the version 2_2_D6 version of xalan. Now I try it again with 2_4_0 version and found problem. After some introspection I found, that construction like

<xsl:value-of select"@Code">

must be replaced with 

<xsl:value-of select"string(@Code)">

to ensure correct work.

I want to ask if it is bug or feature, that @something are not converted to string automatically in string expression?

Thanks a lot.
