That's matching elements that don't have any text node siblings. It's
working in XMLSpy because the XMLSpy processor (incorrectly) strips
whitespace text nodes from the source. To get the same behaviour in Xalan
use <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>.

(Though I haven't tried to understand your logic: it's a very strange
condition to be testing).
