Understanding and not making the error are two entirely different
animals.... Which kind of reinforces my point.  C is a language that grew,
supposedly intuitively, as a "better assembler."  If these sorts of errors
are cased by "intuitive" languages, give me a logical one any day.

That being said, the use of the name "variable" in XSLT was perhaps not the
best name for the element.
