Why don't you just nest the loops instead of putting them adjacent to each

Consider this little stysheet (change 'root' to a proper name) :

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:key name="occupant" match="occupant" use="unitid"/>

<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:for-each select="unit">
        <xsl:variable name="unit" select="."/>
        <xsl:variable name="occupants" select="key('occupant',id)"/>
        <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="$occupants">
                        <xsl:for-each select="$occupants">
                                <xsl:value-of select="$unit/name"/> | <xsl:value-of 
select="name"/>
                                <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
                        </xsl:for-each>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                        <xsl:value-of select="$unit/name"/> | Vacant
                </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
I had something like this (without using keys, as I just don't understand keys well enough other than to copy other people's examples :) ); the problem is that I was giving a simplified version of my problem. There are actually 7 or 8 columns per row, and it just seems that there must be a way that I don't have to have each column defined in both the when and the otherwise.
