RE: how to do i18n with parameter substitution

Wendell
Thank you for this, it has given me the inspiration I needed.  After a short
nap I was able to build on it and came up with:

  <xsl:template match='target/*' mode='parameters'>
    <xsl:param name='caption'/>
    <xsl:variable name='name' select='name()'/>
    <xsl:value-of select='$caption/*[name()=$name]/@value'/>
  </xsl:template>
