Re:  node responding to ancestor node attributes
Hi Ryan,

> <xsl:variable name="thisLanguage" select="page[@language]"/>

Note that this sets the $thisLanguage variable to a node set holding
the page document element that has a language attribute (i.e. it's
empty if the page document element doesn't have a document element).

More probably, you want $thisLanguage to be set to the (value of the)
language attribute, in which case you need:

<xsl:variable name="thisLanguage" select="page/@language"/>

Cheers,

Jeni
