I was doubtful, if it's written like: xsl:if test="data(@married)"
then why EBV is checked. After thinking a bit, I think I am little
clear now. test="" would test for EBV of the expression in "". That is
the semantics of test="" syntax.

After reading the rules for finding EBV of a value, I think I have
understood the logic of all this.

Thanks for the explanations. I'll post further doubts I might have ...
