It is, mathematically speaking, a union of - the empty sequence - Z (unsigned short) - Z x Z - Z x Z x Z ... null is not a possible value of a sequence. In the specific example, is there a need to distinguish between the empty string as a nodeValue, and a null nodeValue? Otherwise, saying 'may be empty' sounds better. Regards, Martin
