Re: scoping inside a select statement

Why does this DWIM:
 <xsl:variable name="foobar" select="@name"/>
 <xsl:value-of select="document('inst.xml')//*[boolean(name() = $foobar)]"/>

and this doesn't:
 <xsl:value-of select="document('inst.xml')//*[boolean(name() = @name)]"/>

... or perhaps I should say, how do I scope @name inside a select to refer to the @name attribute of the context node outside the select, instead of whatever it's referring to here (... an attribute named @name in the context node inside the select?)

Cheers,
Wendell

Also if you're wondering about the unnecessary boolean() I've decided to use it for syntactic safety to protect myself from numeric result s;-)
