I can't see why you can't use variables, from perl I'd expect that that you could assign strings to a variable in _perl_ syntax with perl quoting, and then reference that variable by $x in a xpath expression. This would correspond using xsl syntax to assign variables that you could reference in an xpath expression used in xsl. Note xpath itself only has a syntax for referring to variables, not for assigning them. David XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
