Well, I can't say about those examples, but I just looked in Mike Kay's book
(XSLT Programmer's Reference) to check my memory, and it does in fact say
that the "use" attribute's value has to be an expression.  That's why your
experiments didn't work.

I'm not so sure. "concat(@this, '+', @that)" is an XPath expression that returns a string, which is legal here [XSLT 12.2].


I think there's another reason the concat approach didn't work for Thomas.

Cheers,
Wendell
