> So, why call them variables? In a traditional mathematical formula such as area = length ? breadth "length" and "breadth" are referred to as variables, because they can take different values each time you apply the formula. The use of the word "variable" to refer to a storage location whose contents could be modified during the execution of an algorithm came later. XSLT is true to the original mathematical meaning of the term. Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
