Hi Bridger --
Those are helpful, thanks!
I was hoping for a built-in (extenstion!) function on the (possibly mistaken) supposition that BaseX just knows that things are in the internal representation and would nigh-certainly be quicker to have something that returns that value directly.

HI Graydon -
it isn't a builtin function, but maybe the functx:node-kind() and functx:sequence-type() functions are what you want[1,2]? Hope that helps.

Hi!
I am overcome with the cabbage-nature today, because I can't find this in the docs.
I am convinced there's a way to go:
(//some-element/node()) ! fn:node-type(.)
and get a sequence of "element(),element(),text()..." but do not know what the actual function is called. (it's not node-type()!)
How ought I to be approaching this?
Thanks! Graydon
