RE: <xsl:when> and <xsl:if>


The first of these is going to be a tiny bit more efficient, because the
second test is not done if the first is satisfied: but the difference is
very unlikely to be measurable.

More importantly, writing the test as test="self::name1" is better, firstly
because it protects you code against namespace prefix differences, and
secondly because it avoids a function call.
