Yes. Re-read the comments of Scott and Michael. You haven't (yet) 
applied their advice. Comparing numbers as strings (MK & Scott), using 
xsl:if when xsl:when is better and vv (Scott & MK), being overly verbose 
(Scott & MK), a possible full solution (Scott) and questions about the 
code in general (MK) were all points of attention not reflected in this 
new post of you. Maybe you missed their messages? Check back what they 
wrote (19-10-2007 17:01 and 17:02 resp). If things are not clear, ask 
them to clarify.

Some of the points mentioned are well-explained in "Beginning XSLT" by 
Tennison. which you mention in your sample xml: if you don't have it 
yet, I recommend buying it, it is a good read and may very well teach 
you how to write XSLT declarative instead of imperative (which it is 
now), making your code more adapt to changes and less error prone.
