wrong with the statement.

Don't forget if you have a variable like this:

<xsl:variable name="var1">
  <plan>
    <source>

then $var1 returns the document-node containing <plan> element, so to
access the <source> element you need either $var1/plan/source, or set
the sequence type of the variable to be element(plan), then use
$var1/source.
