Re: Question

I THINK you can use macros today for anything you will be able to use
local variables for tomorrow.  So how about

<xsl:macro name='helper'>
 <xsl:macro-arg name='where-am-i'/>
  <xsl:value-of select="ancestor(CLASS)/METHOD[@name=arg(where-am-i)]"/>
 </xsl:macro-arg>
</xsl:macro>

<xsl:template match="METHODREF">
 <xsl:invoke macro='helper'>
  <xsl:arg name="where-am-i" value="{@name}"/>
 </xsl:invoke>
</xsl:template>
