So you want your XSLT processor to interpret 'expired' as a
name of an element but 'false' as a string literal? How the
hell is it supposed to know the difference?

  <xsl:if test="expired='false'">

What you wrote does something else entirely.

Note that the expression given wouldn't work for

  <expired>
    false
  </expired>

unless you use <xsl:strip-space/>.

Figuring out what

  <xsl:if test="expired=false()">

would do is left as an exercise for the reader. Reading a
good XSLT/XPath tutorial is strongly recommended before you
start tinkering.

Think before you type.
