how to render "or" in xsl?

I'm told that I should say "20%" instead of "and" in certain calls for an xsl template.

What's the equivalent for "or"? I want to search for a number of ISBNs on Amazon. When using Power Search on Amazon, I can go "isbn: 11111111 or 22222222 or 33333333" and so forth. How should I render that in a call for an xsl template?

Thanks - Dan

I'm not aware that XSL has conditional abilities in that way, perhaps you might try this:

Although, this says differently:

As usual, a sample helps more than an explanation.

More on the above here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/htm/xsl_fund_95ph.asp and if you look around you can see that xsl:if is for single tests and xsl:choose is for multiple tests (when when otherwise), so and and or are not needed?

Thanks. I've since learned that %20 actually means "space", and that I can go %20or%20 and the call works just fine.
