I've tested my XSL stylesheet written previously within this mail thread,
with following changes as suggested by you,

<xsl:if test=". eq $srch1">
  <!-- code -->
</xsl:if>

and also with

not(. ne $srch1)        <!-- for my interest -->

With both of these XSL stylesheet code modifications, an XSL stylesheet
example that I've written previously, works fine with Apache Xalan XSLT
3.0's development code.

Thanks, to Mike as well, for his suggestions that I'll try with little
later.
