Try to apply the following stylesheet to your <someroot> sample. The key idea is that document('') returns the root of the stylesheet itself; in this way, you can address pieces of the stylesheet as if they were elements in the source document. However, I think it isn't a good idea to intersperse style with data. IMO, you should better put your location data into a separate XML file, marking them with normal markup instead of xsl:variables. Then you can access them using document() function, in the same way that I used to extract these data from the stylesheet.
