Hi Folks,



I am trying to look up a country code in a list of supported currencies, 
with a default to US if it is not found. I am using the XSLT 1.0 idiom of



nodeset1[condition] | nodeset2[not(condition)]



for a mutually exclusive result, however for the life of me I can't seem 
to find a suitable condition - I probably just need a figurative whack 
on the side of the head to help me "think different" (or should that be 
"differently?"). I have tried several different variations of the 
following with no luck, though I am probably just overlooking something 
really obvious:



<xsl:variable name="currency" 
select="$currency-data//currency[@code=$country-code and @code != 'US'] 
| $currency-data//currency[not(@code=$country-code and @code != 'US')]" />



Nothing seems to work no matter how I arrange that - the US currency is 
always unioned into the set. I'm sure that's the wrong condition to use, 
and there is something relatively simple I can add, but I'm just not 
seeing it.



Does anyone have any suggestions, or perhaps a nerf mallet?



Thanks in advance
