[xsl] Re: following-sibling on attributes

["Dimitre Novatchev" <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Vidar,

As you have changed significantly my code and the context it is used in, I
cannot answer questions about the behaviour of the new code.

I am happy that I was able to help you, but please, ask questions that only
concern the code I posted.

If your question:

>

>
> <xsl:otherwise>
>    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
> </xsl:otherwise>

is about the code that I posted, the answer is that

it must be:

          <xsl:otherwise>
              <xsl:value-of select=".."/>
          </xsl:otherwise>

because the current node is an attribute and we want to produce the string
value of the element, that has this attribute.
