The conditional branch could be used to select among a number of either result tree fragments (RTFs) or text strings. These RTFs or strings would be used to encode the values of all of the variables to be set. The result of the conditional would be saved to a temporary variable from which the values of the variables you care about would then be extracted. If the data values are simple enough you could encode them in order in a string with the values for each variable separated from one another by some character guaranteed not to occur in any value. Otherwise you could encode them in an RTF with one node for each variable to be set. You will need to use the often mentioned node-set() extension function to convert the RTF to a node set before you can extract data from it. Consult the list archives to see how to use node-set() and to determine what namespace it lives i nfor the XSLT processor you're using.
