No, not a bug. You are saying "bind a variable with name 'zaza' to a
node-set that matches the XPath expression http://www.yahoo.com"

 http:  = namespace prefix 'http'
 //     = descendants
 www    = element name 'www'
 .      = current node
 yahoo  = element name 'yahoo'
 .      = current node
 com    = element name 'com'

...and this of course is not a valid expression for many reasons, not the
least of which is that // cannot follow a namespace prefix.


Try this (notice the quoting):

<xsl:variable name="zaza" select="'http://www.yahoo.com'"/>

This is saying "bind a variable with name 'zaza' to a *string* consisting of
these literal characters http://www.yahoo.com
