RE: Conditional Formating

One way to do this is to use multiple templates for matching
MONTH with a predicate on the CALENDAR ancestor specifying
your test. For example: 

<!-- this template matches the MONTH element only if it's 
     ancestor CALENDAR has a WEEK value for MYFORMAT -->
<xsl:template match="CALENDAR[@MYFORMAT='WEEK']/MONTHS/MONTH">
    <td>You selected myformat of type week.</td>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="CALENDAR[@MYFORMAT='DAY']/MONTHS/MONTH">
    <td>You selected myformat of type day.</td>
</xsl:template>

<!-- If MYFORMAT is optional and may not be set, you also 
     need a default template to handle this -->
<xsl:template match="CALENDAR[not(@MYFORMAT)]/MONTHS/MONTH">
    <td>You did not select a calendar format.</td>
</xsl:template>
