Does my message look like garbage to you? (syntactically, not semantically
:-)

Your message:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TestFirstUserInterfaces/message/668

My reply:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TestFirstUserInterfaces/message/669

(summary: I took your posted XSL, wrapped it with <xsl:stylesheet ...>, and
then ran it through the MSXSL processor with the sample input given in my
message 669.)


(Now for the semantics...)

I'm trying to say two things:

 1. there seems to be a minor bug in your XSL where it creates an extra
empty span. This is in the case where you have both a <title> and a
<shorttitle> under the <header> node (I assume that's valid input).

 2. one possible change (improvement?) is to move the test further inside
the <a> node (and make it an xsl:choose).


It's hard to know if what I'm proposing is sensible for you because I don't
have enough of the context for your problem. I'm just hoping that showing
you the code for the <xsl:choose> might give you an idea.

Alistair.
