We've got an instruction :
<xsl:if>
But this instruction has no <xsl:else> as any other language I've used.
XSLT was designed for use with XSL-FO, and it is very often the case
that you want to add something to the result tree or add
nothing. XSL-FO has 270 differently-named attributes ... adding some
on a condition is very common.

My second one might be easier!
Let's say I have an XML like this
<?xml version="1.0">
<root>
<!-- Any number of nodes here -->
</root>
As a valid XML document can have only one "main" node,
Called the "document element".
what is the architectural and practical difference between
<xsl:template select="/">
and
<xsl:template select="/root">
First, it would be match="/" and match="/root", and needing to match
on the document node is important to access the XML prologue and any
content after the document element in the instance:
<?xml version="1.0">
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="over-there.xsl">
<?owner jsmith>
<root>
</root>
<!--copyright notice here-->
The root node in the above document has 4 child nodes.
At the moment:
- they do the exact same thing
False.
I hope this helps.
