  Of course that's a mater of taste, but when the same predicates apply to all
items in a sequence, I usually prefer:

    <xsl:sort select="( monogr/author,
                        analytic/author,
                        monogr/editor,
                        monogr/title )[normalize-space(.)][1]"/>
