Re: [docbook-apps] Something like an attribute-set, but different

[Geraint North <geraint@transitive.com>]

Well, I'm not sure what's different today, but everything works fine  
when I do this:

<xsl:param name="transitive.colours.document">
   <xsl:choose>

     <xsl:when test="/db:book/db:info/db:xdocconfidentiality/ 
@level='Secret'">
       <xsl:value-of select="$transitive.colours.secret"/>
     </xsl:when>

      <xsl:when test="/db:book/db:info/db:xdocconfidentiality/ 
@level='Confidential'">
        <xsl:value-of select="$transitive.colours.confidential"/>
      </xsl:when>

      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="$transitive.colours.unclassified"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>
</xsl:param>

Could have sworn that's exactly what I'd tried on Friday, but never  
mind, all is well now.  Bob, Dave, Thomas - thanks very much for all  
your help.
