"option" is the name of the element.
The "@" that appears with "rate-increase" in your XPath is telling you that it is an attribute of <option>.

Look at the <xsl:when test=""> element for example. "xsl:when" is the name of the element (the "when" is the local part, the "xsl:" is the namespace part).

The "test" is an attribute, like "rate-increase".


> 2)  Yes, there is another "when" ...

Yes, I'm afraid I got out too much in front on that one.
Look at your template again,

<option rate-increase="{@rate-increase}">

You didn't show the "match" attribute for the template that encloses the the <xsl:choose>, but if you are getting an output that looks like this:

<option rate-increase="false"> 

then your template is matching an element with an attribute named "rate-increase" that has the value of "false".

1) But how can there be 2 words in one root name, "option" & "rate-increase" ?

2)  Yes, there is another "when" there, but it has another value of
debug=branch2 and doesn't show up in the output, so I don't think it is involved. Correct ?
