For sure things are changed, but recall that global variables in XSLT 
can be overriden. At least unless they are marked final.

But i agree there are cases where it makes sense.   Sometimes i write,
  <xsl:variable name="input" select="/" />
for example, and although this could as well be a tunnel parameter, i
often find global variables easier to find.
