Thanks Andrew, that looks exactly like what I'm looking for, but I get a big ole error:

Expected token ')', found ','.

Any ideas?

Is that an XSLT 1.0 processor giving that error?


I'm not sure what ($AuthorId, author_id) is meant to do?

In XSLT 2.0 it is simply a sequence consisting of $AuthorId and author_id. The trailing [1] then takes the first item in that sequence thus if $AuthorId is not the empty sequence then author_id is compared to the value of (the first item) $AuthorId and if it the empty sequence then it is compared to author_id itself which is always true, basically not doing any filtering at all.
