There's nothing obviously wrong with your logic, see if you get the same
results with different XSLT processors (if you do, you know it's your
problem and not a bug)

This isn't an error, but it's useless: the variables go out of scope as soon
as they are declared. Which product is reporting an error, and what's the
error message? (we aren't clairvoyant, you know!)
