There is no reliable way in XSLT 1.0 of determining what type of argument has been passed. You need to design the interface differently so as to remove this requirement, e.g. by passing an extra parameter.

In XSLT 2.0 you can use the instance of operator:

<xsl:if test="$p instance of xsd:string">
