RE: Global, dynamically-named variables (or equiv) in

Hi,

I don't know what you are trying to do but taking a stab, I would say you
want to set a key:

<xsl:key name="types" match=" xs:simpleType | xs:complexType" use="@name"/>

Forget about the variable try. Simply match the xs:element and get the base
datatype there through the key:

<xsl:template match="xs:element">
  <xsl:value-of select="key('types', @type)/xs:restriction/@base"/>
</xsl:template>

Does that do it for you?

Best,
-Rob
