<xsl:when test="//choice/action/@type[.='accept']">
<xsl:value-of select="//choice/action/@imodetask" />
</xsl:when>
Translating into English:
When I have an attribute called "type" whose value is equal to the
string "accept" somewhere on the tree, which is a child of an element
"action" and a grandchild of an element "choice", give me the first
value of the "imodestask" attribute on the tree which is also a child of
an element "action" and a grandchild of an element "choice".
i.e. your use of the // at the front makes your XPath pretty
meaningless.
