You need to use the ancestor axis to look up the tree, rather than
searching from the root down, which will always return true, as long
as there's a journal title somewhere in the document. Also, it may
have just been a typo in your example, but you were missing the "@"
before "level".
<xsl:when test="ancestor::monogr[1]/title[@level='j']">...</xsl:when>

When applying styles to the <date> element within in a TEI <biblStruct>
ancestor, such as the following

level="m">Buddhism in China: A Historical
Survey</title><imprint><pubPlace>Princeton</pubPlace><publisher>Princeton
University
Press</publisher><date>1964</date></imprint></monogr></biblStruct>
I have, for several years, been using the following simple XSLT,
<xsl:template match="date">
<xsl:if test="(parent::p)">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:apply-templates/>.
</xsl:template>
Thus, in the case of the above, the output would simply be the date,
followed by a period.
In the present manuscript that I am working on, the publisher asks that
journal dates be placed in parentheses.
Thus, for example, in the following entry
<biblStruct xml:id="Chien-1988"><analytic><author>Ch’ien, Edward
T.</author><title level="a">The Neo-Confucian Confrontation with Buddhism: A
Structural and Historical Analysis</title></analytic><monogr><title
level="j">Journal of Chinese Philosophy</title><imprint><biblScope
type="vol">15</biblScope><date>1988</date><biblScope
type="pp">347–348</biblScope></imprint> </monogr></biblStruct>
...since we have <title level="j"> (indicating a journal), I would like the
output to be (1988). I know how to test for attribute values in the case of
a preceding node, or a sibling, or parent, or ancestor. But in this case,
the <title level="j"> element is none of these, although it has the same
ancestor. I attempted to deal with this by testing for the existence of a
<title level="j"> under the same ancestor of <monogr>
<xsl:template match="date">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="(parent::p)">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="//monogr/title[level='j']">
(<xsl:apply-templates/>)
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates/>.
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
But so far no luck. I was going to try the route of creating a variable when
level="j" exists, but I thought that I should ask here to see if there is a
way of doing it with standard axes methods.
