RE: Looping and assigning into variable

I'm completely confused. This seems to be XSLT code that is generating
JavaScript code, except that it contains some <comment> elements. There's
nothing wrong with the XSLT code, but I've no idea whether the JavaScript
that you are generating makes any sense at all.
