Re: [xsl] xsl:if test = empty string, returns true

Try following::string instead.

Still evaluates to true.

The node following the key element is a text node containing a newline and 
some spaces before the <string> open tag. 

That is what I initially thought, so I tried adding

        <xsl:strip-space elements="plist dict"/>

and then

        <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

Shouldn't that take care of any white-space-only text nodes? Adding those lines 
does not change the result.

Note, I'd use, e.g.
 <pair><key>testkey</key><value>....</value></pair><pair>...
and then you don't need the [1].

The plist files follows http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd. It is 
not a syntax that I can choose.

Any idea why the test evaluates to true?
