How about having:

  <xsl:variable name="maxOccurs" select="(@maxOccurs,1)[1]"/>

... and then changing your tests to variables instead of attributes? You won't need the tests for absence since the variable assignment has accommodated absence.

I don't recognize what this is doing, I'm assuming it assigns 1 when not there, but I don't understand the syntax.


I suppose if there had been a DTD to validate against I could have checked for the value directly.
