why the nested xsl:choose? Your posting was equivalent to a single
xsl:choose:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="//@secur.classif='P'">
<xsl:text>PRIORITY</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="//@secur.classif='F'">
<xsl:text>FAST</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="//@secur.classif='R'">
<xsl:text>ROUTINE</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>SLOW</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
but it is often simpler to use xpath rather than xsl:choose
the above is equivalent to:
<xsl:variable name="x" select="//@secur.classif"/>
<xsl:value-of select="document('')/*/x:classif/@*
[name(.)=$x or name()='X'][1]"/>
and at the top of your sheet
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"
xmlns:x="file:/dev/null"
>
<x:classif P="PRIORITY"/>
<x:classif F="FAST"/>
<x:classif P="ROUTINE"/>
<x:classif X="SLOW"/>
