I have an XML file that contains the following structure:

<category>
  <subcategory>
    <article>
    </article>
  </subcategory>
</category>

In my XSLT stylesheet, I need to be able to test if the <category>
node I'm working with contains a <subcategory> node. What's the best
way to test for the presence of this node without actually doing
anything with it? I was thinking <xsl:if test="something">.
