The line excerpted above is not what I think you mean. (This much you know)

$code != ('state_results') or ('game_results')
means that either
$code != ('state_results') is true OR
('game_results') is true.

I think you meant the conditional to be true when $code is not equal to
either of the strings. For this result, you need to specify the following:
$code != ('state_results') and $code != ('game_results')

Note the change from 'or' to 'and'.
Saying that $code is not a or b is equivalent to saying that $code is
not a, and $code is not b.
In this case, the important is that the 'or' operator in XSL does not
work like 'or' in English. XSL's 'or' works on boolean values only.
