Oops, sorry, Martin, I didn't see it -- I was in a rush.

Your suggestion didn't work at first. It gave me this error:

"Type error, value does not match a required type as specified
by the matching rules in 2.5.4 Sequence Type Matching.
- 'xs:decimal' "

But then I removed the as=3D attribute:

<xsl:variable name=3D"bboxWidth"
  select=3D"xs:decimal($bboxTokens[3]) - xs:decimal($bboxTokens[1])"/>

and then it worked perfectly. So I'm a little confused, but
grateful! :-)

Thanks!
