<xsl:template name="ApplyTemplatesOrCreate">
<xsl:param name="elemName" select="''" />
<xsl:param name="elemDefault" select="''" />
<xsl:variable name="elem" select="*[name() = $elemName]" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$elem">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$elem" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:if test="$elemName != ''">
<xsl:element name="{$elemName}">
<xsl:value-of select="$elemDefault" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
invoke like:
<xsl:call-template name="ApplyTemplatesOrCreate">
<xsl:with-param name="elemName" select="'SalMin'" />
<xsl:with-param name="elemDefault" select="'1000'" />
</xsl:call-template>
