Re: [xsl] more elegant way to process element with default value?

   and my understanding is that
   certain kinds of character data cannot be stored in attribute values,
   since they are CDATA not PCDATA. Am I mistaken about this?)

Yes you are mistaken. All character data that is allowed in element
content is allowed in attributes (although newlines are normalised
differently: to #10 in element content and #20 (usually) in attributes.
What doesn't happen is that the string is _Parsed_ looking for element
start tags, etc. Of course you have to quote " if using " to surround
teh value, but that is the only difference.
