[xsl] Multiple elements condition

Greetings everyone,

I've been trying to wrap my head around this problem and so far have
only succeeded in creating a headache. I keep thinking I'm making it
more difficult than it needs to be. Your help is very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Problem: When there are two or more <para> tags inside of a <note> tag
output the <para> tags as a bulleted list. (Why didn't the author use a
bulleted list to begin with? I don't know).

Example:
                    <note>
                        <para>Misc text.</para>
                        <para>Misc text.</para>
                        <para>Misc text.</para>
                        <para>Misc text.</para>
                    </note>

Should transform to:

*Misc text.
*Misc text.
*Misc text.
*Misc text.

XSL Code:

	<xsl:template match="note">
		<fo:block keep-together="always">
			<fo:block text-align="center"  font="bold 11pt
arial" space-before="3mm" >NOTE</fo:block>
			<fo:block padding-left="30pt"
padding-right="30pt">
				<xsl:choose>
					<xsl:when test="count(note/para)
> 1">
						<fo:character
character="&#x25A1;"/> <xsl:value-of select="para"/>
</xsl:when>
					<xsl:otherwise>
						<xsl:apply-templates/>
					</xsl:otherwise>
				</xsl:choose>
			</fo:block>
		</fo:block>
	</xsl:template>
