According to the XPATH 2.0 specification: The semantics of fn:boolean are repeated here for convenience: 1. If its operand is an empty sequence, fn:boolean returns false. 2. If its operand is a sequence whose first item is a node, fn:boolean returns true. 3. If its operand is a singleton value of type xs:boolean or derived from xs:boolean, fn:boolean returns the value of its operand unchanged. 4. If its operand is a singleton value of type xs:string, xdt:untypedAtomic, or a type derived from one of these, fn:boolean returns false if the operand value has zero length; otherwise it returns true. 5. If its operand is a singleton value of any numeric type or derived from a numeric type, fn:boolean returns false if the operand value is NaN or is numerically equal to zero; otherwise it returns true. 6. In all other cases, fn:boolean raises a type error. The following snippet seems to conform to condition 3 of above (note: the o:internal attribute is of type xs:boolean). I have tried making the value of it "false" and "0" and in either case the "when" clause is executed rather than the "otherwise". So the error lies in the fn:boolean not converting the value to its proper type or that the test is not evaluating the xs:boolean returned from the function correctly. <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="${fn:boolean(/o:offers/@o:internal)}"> <xsl:text>Internal</xsl:text> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:text>External</xsl:text> <xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose>
