Re: is the variable really out of scope??

you do need two choose statements, but don't do this

    <xsl:variable name="s">4.79</xsl:variable>

do this

    <xsl:variable name="s" select="4.79"/>

the second makes s a variable with value the number 4.79

the first makes s into a result tree fragment with a document node#
having a unique identity, contianing a text node with value the string
"4.79"

when used in a numeric expression the second can be used directly but
the first will be first coerced to the string "4.79" and then finally
back to the number 4.79.
