Re: <xsl:variable> behavior

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:variable name="x">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="false()">X</xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:if test="$x">x</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

This (unexpectedly) prints "x"

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:variable name="x">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="false()">X</xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:if test="string($x)">x</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
