Mike,  I think you meant:

       test="{ (xs:unsignedInt(.) eq dfdl:unsignedInt('xa1b2c3d4')) |
               (xs:unsignedInt(.) eq dfdl:unsignedInt('xd4c3b2a1')) }"

Subject:        [DFDL-WG] still no need for fn:error
Sent by:        dfdl-wg-bounces@ogf.org

Here's the example as suggested by Jonathan of how to issue an error that I previously was suggesting needed fn:error. I'm convinced this is sufficient and we can avoid the need for fn:error now.

<xs:element name="magic_number" type="ex:uint32" dfdl:byteOrder="bigEndian">
 <xs:annotation>
   <xs:appinfo source="http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/">
     <dfdl:assert
       test="{ (xs:unsignedInt(.) eq dfdl:hUInt('0xa1b2c3d4')) |
               (xs:unsignedInt(.) eq dfdl:hUInt('0xd4c3b2a1')) }"
       message="{ fn:concat(
                     'Magic number ',
                     dfdl:hexBinary(dfdl:unsignedInt(.)),
                     ' was not 0xA1B2C3D4 (for bigEndian) or 0xD4C3B2A1 (for littleEndian).' }" />
   <dfdl:setVariable ref="ex:bOrd">{ xs:unsignedInt(.) }<dfdl:setVariable>
   </xs:appinfo>
 </xs:annotation>
</xs:element>
