Definition and Usage
The <xsl:when> element is used to specify an action for the <xsl:choose> element.
The <xsl:when> element evaluates an expression, and if it returns true, an
action is performed.
Note: The <xsl:when> element is used in conjunction with <xsl:choose> and <xsl:otherwise>
to express multiple conditional tests.

Example 2
Declare a variable named "color". Set its value to the color attribute of the
current element. If the current element has no color attribute, the value of
"color" will be "green":
<xsl:variable name="color">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@color">
<xsl:value-of select="@color"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>green</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
