If I could create a "must-match-this-if-clause.xsl" and feed it the
above string, it would be more efficient.
Any other ways to approach this problem?
one way is to generate the run time stylesheets from your dat
so if you have
<xsl:element name="xsl:if">
<xsl:attribute name="test" select="$param"/>
...
then passing the global parameter "param" into this stylesheet will
generate an instance of a stylesheet to use at run time, eg
<xsl:if test="X = 'foo' and Y = 'bar'">....
another way is to use the in built macro pre-processor built into XML,
using teh entity expansion mechanism and have
<xsl:if test="&mytest-1"/>
and start the stylesheet
<!DOCUMENT xsl:styesheet SYSTEM "mydefs.ent">
<xsl:stylesheet>...
where mydefs.ent has (in this instance)
<!ENTITY mytest1 "(X='foo' and Y='bar') or (Z='baz' and (A!='bof' or
B='bop'))) or (starts-with(C,'quux'))">
But I'm not sure why you can't just use a function
<xsl:if test="my:testfunc(.)"
with my:test-func being defined each time as appropriate, eg
<xsl:function name="my:testfunc" as="xs:boolean">
<xsl:param name="here"/>
<xsl:sequence"$here/(((X='foo' and Y='bar') or (Z='baz' and (A!='bof' or
B='bop'))) or (starts-with(C,'quux')))"/>
</xsl:function>
