Actually I use <xsl:choose> to accomplish that
That's what it is there for.
but maybe there is a shorter way to do it,
xsl:choose has one child for the if bit and one for the else, it's
hard to imagine an xml syntax that would be _much_ shorter.
In xslt2 draft you can do more conditionals in xpath rather than xslt
<xsl:value-of if (a=b) then c else d"/>
which _is_ shorter.
