Not at all. A number is equivalent (==) to its string representation in ECMAScript.
 
While this is true (and often convenient) I would suggest that it would be a bad idea to have the ECMAScript tests rely on loose equality. Since ""==0, and and 0==false, and false==[], such a test could (theoretically) provide false positive passes. I remember that you all had a discussion on === in the XSLT tests a while back, so I assume there's a reason that you kept with == in the XSLT. I'll not re-open that can of worms.

I'll just say that since we have conf:eventDataVal--allowing the XSLT to determine how to best represent the test for the data model--then we should also have <conf:content> so that the XSLT can translate the intention the same way.
