Thank you Ken; it's a bit inconvenient (having assumed the wrong outcome to

for approval to go to the commercial version.

If you know in your stylesheet what the default value is supposed to be, the work-around is quite straightforward:

( @attribute-name, $default-value )[1]

Because the predicate selects the first of the sequence, and if the attribute is absent then the default value becomes the first of the sequence.

I hope this helps.
