Using the latest XSLT spec, is there anyway to do an 'if defined' test on a
variable? I'm trying to add the variable as an attribute value if it is
defined. Here's what I'd like to do but I'm unable to figure out how to
achieve it.

<body>
<xsl:if test="ifdefined($onload)">
    <xsl:attribute name="onload">$onload</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
    HTML text goes here
</body>

An even shorter way would be:

<body onload="{$onload}">

and to not generate the attribute if onload wasn't defined.
