xsl:choice is not a xsl element, you probably mean xsl:choose

1st, a more verbose error message would be useful.

2nd, What I am trying to do is find out if the current element contains 
an element named "eraname", if it does I want to use the value of the 
element "eraname"

If it doesn't I want to check if the current element contains a child 
element named "conflictname", if it does I want to use the value of the 
element "conflictname".

If it doesn't I want to slap in some boiler plate text.

The xml file being processed when this fails does contain the child 
element "eraname".


I'd be more than happy to use a workaround here.

Thank you,
