Hi France,

If you really need multi-branching if then else the language doesnt require increasing indentation.

if (cond1) then expr1 else if (cond2) then expr2 else expr3

In my opinion this is just as good as using switch, i've seen examples like this even in the spec. Of course readability suffers if there's a lot going on in the expressions such as complete flwor expressions but that's just a matter of breaking up the code in smaller (re-usable) pieces/functions.

Breaking up / refactoring your logic to avoid massive if then else or switch constructs is advisable anyway. But I don't know how your code looks so I cannot say.
