What's wrong with using template rules?

<xsl:template match="/some/xpath/text()[. eq 'foo'">bar</xsl:template>

You can use the priority attribute to control which takes precedence.

Nothing at all!  Only I had never matched on the text content previously,
so it had not occurred to me.

An aside, it's interesting that a procedural programmer may likely feel
"in complete control" with a page of if/then/else or other constructs,
whereas these templates feel a bit rogue, but the former tend to
create a train wreck.

Thanks,
Hank
