in the memory location denoted by the variable".

Typically you do for(int i=0;i<1000;i++) in C to iterate over the 1000
elements of some array. In XSL you don't need to go to such contortions:
If you want to iterate over all the nodes in a node set, you just say
that explictly, xsl:for-each select="...
