Re: xsl:element start/end tags when need to recurse

> <!-- CANNOT USE BUT  I DON'T KNOW ALTERNATIVE -->
you can (and should) use xsl:call-template here, your error is that you
have a match attribute on your call-template (which is always an error)

If the string contains | then it can't be empty so this is the same as

 <xsl:when test="contains($currAddress,'|')">   

>         <xsl:element name="a_item"> 
>         <xsl:element name="a_group"> 
>                 <xsl:attribute name="value">addition</xsl:attribute>  
personally I'd write that as
  <a_item>
  <a_ group value="addition">
as it's easier to read, but the xsl:element form is equivalent if you
prefer that style.

starting a match pattern with // doesn't do anything. (in some cases it
changes the default priority, but here it does nothing at all)
it's equivalent to
math="rules/a"

you can't have a param with no name.
