Re: use variable in <xsl:if test=

A fine explanation.

I would just add that, since it sounds like you want to have values
passed to the stylesheet from an external process, you should 
probably be using <xsl:param> elements instead of <xsl:variable>.
<xsl:param>s are defined and used just like <xsl:variable>s. The
differences are that:

 1) An <xsl:param> can receive a value passed from outside the
    stylesheet (for global parameters) or outside the template
    (for local ones).

 2) Local parameters must be immediate children of an <xsl:template>
    element, and must precede all other child elements of the
    template.

Best of luck.
