New description:

 We are using NXtranslate to convert version 1 muon files into the proposed
 version 2 files (which are more TOFRAW like in structure). It would be
 really useful if we could follow a different path through the translation
 file depending on the value of a variable in the external file i.e.
 something along the lines of
 <pre>
 <nxs:condition nxs:location="/path/to/avalue" nxs:test="gt" nxs:value="1">
 <something>value if greater than 1</something>
 ...
 </nxs:condition>
 <nxs:condition nxs:location="/path/to/avalue" nxs:test="le" nxs:value="1">
 <something>value if less than or equal to 1</something>
 ...
 </nxs:condition>
 </pre>
 to selectively include only parts of the translation file in the output.
