Try:

	<xsl:when test='normalize($myOpinionValue)="excellent"'>5</xsl:when>

Another idea I have been experimenting with is to write a SAX ParserFilter
that normalizes the source document (e.g. by removing all white space before
and after tags) before the XSL processor gets to see it. Seems to work well.
