xsl:choose doesn't cut the mustard when you want multiple things done
rather than to exit as soon as one condition is true. I am about to
rip out one of the few chooses that I have allowed to survive for this
very reason and because the template is already rather long - see
earlier remarks about implications for testing and I don't want it to
get even longer.
