That is more easily written as

<xsl:if test="length">

It's best not to use name() function as it makes the stylesheet hard to
make namespace-aware. And formally the values returned by name() are
always processor dependent as the processor may (although probably does
not) assign arbitarary prefixes to namespace while parsing the input.
