Variable names have to be known at compile time: you can't decide at
run-time what variables to create, or what variables to reference.
In your rationale you say " I want to remember those "style" definitions so I can emit appropriate code when they are referenced. Use of temporal language like this ("remember", "when") is always dangerous with XSLT; it's best to avoid thinking about XSLT computation as having a particular temporal order. I think you want to define a key: <xsl:key name="styleKey" match="style" use="@name"/> and then when you come to process a <p> element you can find the relevant style using key('styleKey', @style).
