I need the value to be a numeric value, so that when I test to see if it is boolean true or false, it will react properly. You're getting a Result Tree Fragment assigned to the variable because that's what you're building by calling a template. Unfortunately, the only way to get another type assigned to a variable is with the select attribute, which won't work if you need to call out like that. Fortunately, the remedy is easy enough. Cast the RTF to a number by using the number() function when you test it, as in test="number($top-remove)". It will then be made into a number (NaN if its string value doesn't represent a number), and will test Boolean-wise the way you want it.
