I'm trying to make a small template that concisely implements atan2, but returns the values in degrees and handles the case where DX is zero. So far, I have:

<snip/>

Is there a way to express this in only a few lines without all the verbosity?

Use XSLT 2.0.

Note this will also mean you can avoid converting the doubles to strings and then back again, which improves performance and precision.
