Your problem, like I said, is that you have an old XSL processor (MSXML2
with ie5) which supports an old draft of XSL. If you use the WD-xsl
namespace you can't use variables, if you use
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform (the XSLT standard) MSXML2 won't work
because it doesn't know it. 

My advice would be to select an up-to-date XSLT processor (e.g. Saxon) and
instruct your students to use that with
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform.
