  is it possbile to test if the attribute value has a bit set ?

The XPath 1.0 data model only maintains strings for attribute values.



Any testing you need to do will have to treat the attribute as a string 
value, and decode what you want from that string, which includes converting 
the string to a number if you need to.



I'm not at all sure what you are asking for when you ask about a bit being 
set ... I associate that with bits of a byte or word expressed typically in 
decimal or hex.



I hope this helps.
