Neither in IE5 nor anywhere else are script functions callable directly by
DHTML scripts.  See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/psdk/xmlsdk/xslp0

transformation-time and run-time scripts.

xsl:variable is not available in IE5.  Check out our latest preview release
if you want to experiment with this capability.
