Re: removing spaces from attributes with saxon

I'm using Saxon652 and got problems when I want to use the normalize-space() - function to remove white-spaces from an attribute.

 <xsl:variable name="f">
  <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(@name)"/>
 </xsl:variable>

ps.: one more general question: is it not possible to declare variables by referring to values of other variables, as the following example shows:

<xsl:variable name="sep" select="system-property('file.separator')"/>
<xsl:variable name="dir" expr="{$sep}html{$sep}"/>
