Re: updating xsl:variable inside the loop

  If I use this condition
  <xsl:if
  test="@rowindex=preceding-sibling::*/@rowindex">

presumably then you want a slightly different condition.
You didn't say what criterion you want to test, only showed some
xsl code that shoul dhave generated an error about rebinding a local
variable.  It isn't ever easy to guess from wrong code what you wanted,
actually I suppose you wanted to know if the  immediately preceing
attribte is less (or if there isn't such an attribute)

 <xsl:if
  test="not(preceding-sibling::*[1]/@rowindex) or preceding-sibling::*[1]/@rowindex &lt; @rowindex ">
