Invalid Usage of Element

Just ran into something annoying the past 10 minutes when working on a BPEL process (related to XSLT).

My transformation included the following (which I had manually entered in JDeveloper):

    <ns0:QualificationDate>
     <xsl:if test="number(ns1:Highest/ns1:QualificationDate) > 0">
       <xsl:value-of select="number(ns1:Highest/ns1:QualificationDate) + 190000"/>
     </xsl:if>
    </ns0:QualificationDate>

However, when I clicked on the "Design" tab of the mapper tool to switch from Source to Design mode, I received the following error:
    Transformation_2.xsl
    Error: Invalid Usage of <if> Element

Turns out, the correct usage of the <if> element is the following:
 

    <xsl:if test="number(ns1:Highest/ns1:QualificationDate) > 0">
     <ns0:QualificationDate>
       <xsl:value-of select="number(ns1:Highest/ns1:QualificationDate) + 190000"/>
     </ns0:QualificationDate>
    </xsl:if>


It's the little things that get you sometimes.
