No. "option" is the root element of an XML document stored in a variable called "$tier". It may look something like this based on the XPath in the test:

<option rate-increase="">
 <option-num></option-num?
</option>

Is there another <xsl:when> or an <xsl:otherwise> elements in the <xsl:choose> ?

Hi,
I am trying to fix a bug in somebody else's XSLT1.0/Cocoon2.0.4 app.
I encountered something in the code which I don't understand.

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$tier/option[option-num=$cur-option-num and
@rate-increase='true']">
    <option rate-increase="{@rate-increase}">
       <debug1>branch1</debug1>
        ...other elements
     </option>
   </xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

A few questions regarding snippet:
1) is that "option" a predefined XSLT1.0 construct / keyword / operation ?
I can't find any in the XSLT book.
Could you please explain it to me what that is (in details).

2) the bug I am trying to fix is that somehow on exit I am getting a node
with <option rate-increase="false"> (that debug1=branch1 and
option-num=1).  How is that possible ?   That "branch1" is unique and
can't come from any other place. How can that expression inside []
fail ?


Sorry for the newbie questions.

Thank you in advance,
Oleg.
