The check in the xsl:when should work I think, unless one of the XML
files uses namespaces you haven't shown in the samples.

On the other hand, "it is only returning the original value" sounds odd
or suggests not even the
   match=3D"xref"
works (due to namespaces?), as with a match for those elements where the
xsl:when doesn't evaluate to true you would simply create a new "xref"
with an empty "wpid" attribute as your "xref" input elements are empty,
meaning the <xsl:copy-of select=3D"."></xsl:copy-of> can't create any outpu=
t.
