What I'm after is the value of the text node when there are no child other (what do you call these?)

nodes... but, if there are child nodes, then I am
interested in the value of one of them, in my case, the value of the child node defaultvalue.

<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="count(text())=count(node())">
		<xsl:value-of select="."/>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>
		<xsl:value-of select="defaultvalue"/>
	</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

regards,
