The following doesn't work:
<p:with-option name="foo"
select="if (p:value-available('bar') then $bar else xyzzy"/>
because the semantics of if only protect you against _dynamic_ errors
in the branch not taken, and the fact that bar isn't a know (XPath2)
variable is a _static_ error. . .
Wrapping two copies of the whole surrounding step in a p:choose/p:when
seems awfully heavyweight. . .
Any ideas for a workaround (I'm _not_ suggesting a change to the
spec. at this late stage :-)?
