RE: [xsl] A beef with XSLT Sometimes too complicated

I am personally fond of using lookup tables. It does not 
result in a one liner, but might make things clearer. 
Besides, you can put these lookup tables in separate 
documents as xml config files..

<xsl:variable name="lookup-data">
  <item id="">background_bright</item>
  <item id="*">background_faded</item>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="lookup-ref"
select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/xsl:variable[(_at_)name = 
'lookup-data']/item" />

I like lookup tables too, but I hate this kind of run-time reference to the
source stylesheet. Put it in a separate document in 1.0, or use the variable
directly in 2.0.
