From: David Carlisle
It depends a bit on the detail I think. In general I would go for
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="matches(., regex1)">...
<xsl:when test="matches(., regex2)">...
<xsl:otherwise>...
But there may be cases where using
xsl:non-matching-substring works better.
I like the structure there, for readability.
I (so far) prefer non-matching for less than 3 cases.

Also of course (subject to not blowing your system's regexp
stack) you can always make a regexp that matches them all
at the same time
(regex1)|(regex2)|(.*)
You can tell which one you actually got by looking at the
subgroup matches.
Readability David?
regex's look pretty horrendous sometimes,
but I guess it would work if they were in variables.
Thanks.
