[xsl] sub element selection

Hi.  I'm new to XSL and have what I think is a basic question.  I'm trying
to do the conversion below with the stylesheet at the bottom of the email.
I want to use the  makeProperty template in my solution since many of the
easier XSL things I've coded call it.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the value of CommunicationType
and then compare it to a string (or should it be a variable?).  If you see
an obviously easier way to do it (xsl:when?  xsl:for-each?) please let me
know.

BTW - I have been checking through the various tutorials and archives
listed.  I think part of the problem with being new is I  don't know
exactly what search terms to use to get what I want.

Thanks
Pete

-------------  XML input snippet ----------------

    <CustomerContact>
     <ContactType>Person</ContactType>
     <PersonContact>
          <Communication>
               <CommunicationType>DAYPHONE</CommunicationType>
               <CommunicationNumber>800-5551212</CommunicationNumber>
          </Communication>
          <Communication>
               <CommunicationType>EMAIL</CommunicationType>
               <CommunicationNumber>mickey@xxxxxxxxxx</CommunicationNumber>
          </Communication>
     </PersonContact>
    </CustomerContact>

------------- desired XML output ----------------
(note: DAYPHONE, above, maps to HOMEPHONE and EMAIL maps to DRV1_EMAIL)

<property name="HOMEPHONE" value="800-5551212"/>
<property name="DRV1_EMAIL" value="mickey@xxxxxxxxxx"/>

------------- stylesheet snippet ----------------
<xsl:template match="Communication">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="CommunicationType"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="CommunicationType">
     <xsl:if test="....?..... = 'DAYPHONE'">
          <xsl:call-template name="makeProperty">
               <xsl:with-param name="name">HOMEPHONE</xsl:with-param>
               <xsl:with-param name="value" select="....?......" />  <!-- i want to get CommunicationNumber here -->
          </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:if>
     <xsl:if test="....?..... = 'EMAIL'">
          <xsl:call-template name="makeProperty">
               <xsl:with-param name="name">DRV1_EMAIL</xsl:with-param>
               <xsl:with-param name="value" select="....?...." />   <!-- i want to get CommunicationNumber here -->
          </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="makeProperty">
    <xsl:param name="name"/>
    <xsl:param name="value"/>
     <property>
          <xsl:attribute name="name">
               <xsl:value-of select="$name" />
          </xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name="value">
               <xsl:value-of select="$value" />
          </xsl:attribute>
     </property>
</xsl:template>
