Re: node responding to ancestor node attributes

<xsl:variable name="thisLanguage" select="page[@language]"/>

Then reference the variable with "$thisLanguage". Also, define the
variable immediately after your <stylesheet> tag to make it global.

In my root node I specifiy the language I'd like output to be in. I tried
matching a template of page[@language = 'es']//content//element[@type =

sort of data? Is it possible to take that value and set it to a global
variable any node can easily check? Thanks.
