Your problem isn't in your <xsl:choose>, it's in the variable assignment.
You need an extra set of quotes around the value of the variable; otherwise,
the processor interprets it as "the value of the element named mm."

IOW, this will do what you want:

<xsl:variable name='unit' select="'mm'"/>

Subject:  simple choose : when problem


Hi all

This is another choose:when problem.  Just to test the validity of my
choose:when I written the following xslt segment.
I would expect the output of this segment be MileMay. But to my surprise its
M3.

<xsl:variable name='unit' select="mm"/>
<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="$unit='mm'">
		MileMay
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:when test="$unit='cm'">
		Count Mile
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>M3</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

What have I done wrong here?
