RE: Creating nested output from <xsl:if>'s

Firstly, why are you creating the serialized XML "by hand" rather than
constructing a result tree in the normal way? I don't think this is directly
relevant to your problem, but it's very distracting.

The ideal solution is XSLT 2.0 <next-match>

<xsl:template match="prosody[(_at_)pitch='x-high']" priority="5">
<PITCH BASE="70%"><xsl:next-match/></PITCH>
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="prosody[(_at_)rate='slow']" priority="4">
<RATE SPEED="-40%"><xsl:next-match/></RATE>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="prosody" priority="3">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

In XSLT 1.0 you can do this with xsl:apply-imports, but the drawback is that
each rule has to be in a separate module.

Subject: [xsl] Creating nested output from <xsl:if>'s

Sorry for the bad subject line, its pretty hard to explain. 
Basically i'm transforming one XML language into another. In 
doing this, I 
have some code like the following:

<xsl:template match="//prosody">
        ...
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="@pitch='x-high'">
             <xsl:text>&lt;PITCH BASE="70%"&gt;</xsl:text>
                  <xsl:apply-templates/>
             <xsl:text>&lt;/PITCH&gt;</xsl:text>
        </xsl:when>
        ...
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="@rate='slow'">
             <xsl:text>&lt;RATE SPEED="-40%"&gt;</xsl:text>
                    <xsl:apply-templates/>
             <xsl:text>&lt;/RATE&gt;</xsl:text>
         </xsl:when>
         ...
</xsl:template>


Now this all works fine when using individual prosody tags 
with one attribute 
(pitch or rate). The issue arises when doing something like:

<prosody rate="slow" pitch="x-high">Here is some high, slow 
speech</prosody>

The output is the following:

<PITCH BASE="70%">Here is some high, slow speech</PITCH><RATE 
SPEED="-40%">Here is some high, slow speech</RATE>

Obviously not what was wanted (nested tags with the text in them). 
How can I achieve what I need? If possible, without resorting 
to templates for 
each attribute.
Thanks for your time.
