or, if you must, (@value|@name[not(../@value)]|.)[last()] but perhaps's
that's "explicit testing". How explicit does something have to be to be
"explicit"?

<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="option-value" />
.......

<xsl:template match="option[@value]" mode="option-value" priority="10">
   <xsl:value-of select="@value" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="option[@name]" mode="option-value" >
   <xsl:value-of select="@name" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="option" mode="option-value">
   <xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
