Re: Source code formatting

I feel by no means proficient in XSL but most of the times I need to recall a
variable I use <xsl: sequence select="$var"/>. Most of the times it has the
same effect as value-of, but when it doesnbt, itbs not the latter what I
expected. If I am not wrong, sequence returns the actual node, intact, while
value-of converts it text.
