Doing so works even if leaving `<xsl:apply-templates select="$FOO"/>`
intact, instead of rewriting the match to `$FOO/*`.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the meaning of the answers,

Perhaps the variable representation diagram on
page 223 of my XSLT book will help (it is
available for free download on a "try and buy"
basis at
http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#ptux
... if you decide not to pay for the book, please
delete the copy that you download for free).

It shows the different structures one gets with
the different types of declaration of a variable.
