That is one of the issues.

Is there a way to solve this ?


isn't that where we came in?

 <xsl:template match="Documents">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="*[@filter=$filter]"/>

says apply to children of Documents that have a filter attribute equal to
$filter. I think what you are saying is that you want to apply templates
to Document elements that have filter attribute equal to "" or no filter
attribute or have attribute equal to $filter.

It's easier to say that in XPath than in English

 <xsl:template match="Documents">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="*[@filter='' or @filter=$filter]"/>

(@filter='' will be true if it is there and empty or if it is not there
at all)
