Why was this restriction imposed here, and why is it not even under consideration for review for future versions of XSLT? I'm trying to think of reasons why not, and all I can come up with is that there is no precedent in XSLT for dereferencing the names of variables or templates. On the other hand, it seems like it would be safe because a QName (the name of a template) can't begin with '$', and there is a precedent for using the string value of the result of an XPath expression for something (xsl:sort select="..."). I'm sure I'm overlooking something. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
