Determining if an optional attribute is present
Here is the source XML:
<node id="1" version="1">
</node>
<node id="4" version="3" revision="2">
</node>
Here is the output I need:
<node id="1" version="1" revision="0">
</node>
<node id="4" version="3" revision="2">
</node>
Logically it would seem that this would do it:
<xsl:attribute name="revision">
<xsl:if test="not(string(@revision)) = false()">
<xsl:value-of select="@revision"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not(string(@revision))">
<xsl:text>0</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:attribute>
But in both cases, whether or not the revision is present,
not(string(@revision)) always returns false. I have tried this with
both the debugger in XMLSpy and with MSXML 4.0. The target parser is
MS .Net 2.0.
