There must be a return value defined for the containing function.

My code looks like :

And I get such a parsing  error on my xslt :
 XTTE0570: Conditional expression: If none of the conditions is satisfied,

You get the error because you must have an xsl:otherwise, you can't
just have xsl:whens.

I am confused, http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#xsl-choose says

<xsl:choose>
 <!-- Content: (xsl:when+, xsl:otherwise?) -->
</xsl:choose>

so in general the xsl:otherwise is optional.

So why is the xsl:otherwise required in the above case, to ensure the result 
type of the function?
