Your problem is that XSLT variables are not modifiable - coming from a 
java/C++ background we'd have called them constants instead.

There is an excellent discussion of this ("programming without 
assignement statements") in Mike Kay's book "XSLT programmer's 
reference".

In your case, you might want to use <xsl:with-param> instead to call a 
template with "Monday" as the parameter value.
