 Variables scope - weird behavior of msxml3 ?
Hi!

Excuse me if this is a faq issue.
Well, local variables in XSLT 1.0 have block-structured scope, i.e. "...the binding 
is visible for all following siblings and their descendants" (xslt 1.0 spec).

So, why the following xsl works in msxml3 ? (Saxon and Xalan reported an error, as expected).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<html>
			<xsl:variable name="var" select="'some value'"/>
		</html>
		<xsl:value-of select="$var"/>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

And output is:

<html>
</html>some value
