Of course, looking now at my own code I can see the xsl:choose could just 
as well be:

<xsl:apply-templates
  select="$events/event[@date[contains(.,$monthname)]]"/>
<xsl:if test="not($events/event[@date[contains(.,$monthname)]])">
  <xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text><!-- nbsp -->
</xsl:if>

Note: I do not, myself, have obsessive-compulsive disorder. But living in 
my brain is someone who does.

Cheers,
Wendell
