$TagVal=Cleared

compares the string-value of each node in $TagVal (which you set to be
one or more TextString elements) to the string-value of each node
selected by child::Cleared. If any match, the result is true.

You want

<xsl:when test='$TagVal="Cleared"'>
or
<xsl:when test="$TagVal='Cleared'">

Note you can save a little bit of memory if you put the xsl:choose inside
<font color="red">...</font>. Then you can remove the font elements from
inside the when/otherwise.
