Subject: matching when the attribute or element is NOT there

So this works for detecting when elements or attributes exist...
<xsl:template match="/main/child[subchild]">
<xsl:text>Child contains a subchild element.</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/main/child[@attr]">
<xsl:text>Child contains the attr attribute.</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
This does not work... is there another way to do this in the match statement? I
know I can write this with an if statement, but I'm trying to do some grouping
work that requires the check occur in the match statement.
<xsl:template match="/main/child[not(subchild)]">
<xsl:text>Child does not contain a subchild element.</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/main/child[not(@attr)]">
<xsl:text>Child does not contain the attr attribute.</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
Any help?
Thanks,
Carl
