Re: if child element does not exist stop generation

Hi,
         You can do this using:

<xsl:if test="*[self::length]"> or

That is more easily written as

<xsl:if test="length">

 or

<xsl:if test="*[name() = 'length']">

It's best not to use name() function as it makes the stylesheet hard to
make namespace-aware. And formally the values returned by name() are
always processor dependent as the processor may (although probably does
not) assign arbitarary prefixes to namespace while parsing the input.
