Forgive me for being a novice in XSLT programming but given a case where 
I want to determine the existence of a @name='Abc' where $prime='ABC' 
(as shown below)
----------------------------
<xsl:variable name="prime" 
select="document('result.xml')/Top/PrimeConcept"/>
    <xsl:if test="@name = $prime">
           <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>
---------------------------
would I need to first declare some <xsl:variable> to convert both @name 
and $name to either UPPER or lower-case and then compare them? Would 
there not be an inconsistency with its representation in their 
respective xml documents then? I'm not entirely clear of how the XML 
file will 'communicate' with the XSL file given that Ive changed the 
case of an element/attribute.

Im finding the dynamic assigning and traversing process in XSL very 
confusing as well. Is there a logical way of  traversing through a tree 
to determine the grandchild of an element albeit indirectly. So I know 
that my XML file is as below

-----------------------
<DEFCONCEPT id="10180" name="Car">
       <PARENT>
           <CONCEPT name="Automobile" ref="10181"/>
       </PARENT>
       <CHILD>
           <CONCEPT name="Toyota" ref="10235"/>
       </CHILD>
</DEFCONCEPT >
<DEFCONCEPT id="10235" name="Toyota">
       <PARENT>
           <CONCEPT name="Car" ref="10180"/>
       </PARENT>
       <CHILD>
           <CONCEPT name="Corolla" ref="10279"/>
       </CHILD>
</DEFCONCEPT >
<DEFCONCEPT id="10279" name="Corolla">
       <PARENT>
           <CONCEPT name="Toyota" ref="10235"/>
       </PARENT>
</DEFCONCEPT >
-----------------------
and I want to reach the <DEFCONCEPT name="Corolla"> from the node 
<DEFCONCEPT name="Car"> because I have a query to determine the 
existence of a kind_of  Car 'Corolla' irrespective of the case in which 
it has been written and where in the hierarchy it exists. Will this be 
possible using XSL?

Would appreciate comments on this.
