45 * The <code>string function converts an object to a string as follows:
46 * <ul>
47 * <li>A node-set is converted to a string by returning the string-value of
48 * the node in the node-set that is first in document order. If the node-set
49 * is empty, an empty string is returned.</li>
50 * <li>A number is converted to a string as follows
51 * <ul>
52 * <li>NaN is converted to the string NaN</li>
53 * <li>positive zero is converted to the string 0</li>
54 * <li>negative zero is converted to the string 0</li>
55 * <li>positive infinity is converted to the string Infinity</li>
56 * <li>negative infinity is converted to the string -Infinity</li>
57 * <li>if the number is an integer, the number is represented in decimal
58 * form as a Number with no decimal point and no leading zeros, preceded by
59 * a minus sign (-) if the number is negative</li>
60 * <li>otherwise, the number is represented in decimal form as a Number
61 * including a decimal point with at least one digit before the decimal
62 * point and at least one digit after the decimal point, preceded by a minus
63 * sign (-) if the number is negative; there must be no leading zeros before
64 * the decimal point apart possibly from the one required digit immediately
65 * before the decimal point; beyond the one required digit after the decimal
66 * point there must be as many, but only as many, more digits as are needed
67 * to uniquely distinguish the number from all other IEEE 754 numeric
68 * values.</li>
69 * </ul>
70 * </li>
71 * <li>The boolean false value is converted to the string false. The boolean
72 * true value is converted to the string true.</li>
73 * <li>An object of a type other than the four basic types is converted to a
74 * string in a way that is dependent on that type.</li>
75 * </ul>
76 * If the argument is omitted, it defaults to a node-set with the context
77 * node as its only member.
