Yea, xsl:choose is the alternative. Ie, there would be no way to easily
write something like this:
<xsl:if>
</xsl:else> <-- ????? Doesn't make sense to a parser
</xsl:if>
I swear, the people who came up with XSL were smoking crack. They probably
created the if statement and didn't think about the fact that there is no
way to do an else, so they came up with a hack which is the xsl:choose
syntax in order to get around the fact that they didn't think about else in
the first place...
