Re: if condition

Something like these two templates:

  <xsl:template match="customer[@age]">
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="customer[not(@age)]">
    <customer name="{@name}" age="unknown"/>
  </xsl:template>

OR something like this one:

  <xsl:template match="customer">
    <customer name="{@name}">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="@age">
          <xsl:attribute name="age">
            <xsl:value-of select="@age"/>
          </xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:attribute name="age">unknown</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </customer>
  </xsl:template>

Tested on Saxon8.
