[ Yates, Danny]
For the first state (Alabama), "admissions/state/text()"
evaluates to something like:
Alabama<cr><space><space><cr><space><space>
Which is NOT the same as:
Alabama
You can solve this either by using normalize-space() or by
changing your <state> elements so that they don't use a mixed
content model (i.e. containing both text and other elements). e.g.:
Actually, even nomalize-space() does not quite do it because it
collapses all the whitespace down to one space, resulting in
Alabama<space>
This still won't match "Alabama", but
contains(.,$state)
will work.
After that, as Mike and Danny say, some redesign will probably be a good
idea, either of the source or the stylesheet.
