I can't help with the other points, but (perhaps only for the sake of
discussion ?)
here's an equivalent way of doing an OR with 3 if's that doesn't involve
duplicating
the result block :

<xsl:variable name="testresult">
 <xsl:if test='test1'>x</xsl:if>
 <xsl:if test='test2'>x</xsl:if>
 <xsl:if test='test3'>x</xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="string-length($testresult)!=0">
      write my XML bloc
</xsl:if>

(note that you can do AND by just replacing the final test with
"string-length($testresult)=3")

Cheers,
--Jonathan
