[xsl] rewriting xslt 1 to xslt 2.0

["Bryan Rasmussen" <bry@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have some stylesheets I wrote a long time ago, about 7 months I guess, and
I want to update them now to xslt 2.0(it was a stylesheet for generating
further stylesheets) the whole thing is quite gnarly in the code so I won't
reproduce it here. below is the current part I'm working on(have already
gotten rid of nodeset and am just doing that part the xslt 2.0 way)
this is a stylesheet responsible for putting out the templates that allow
people to switch between different styles on the site, the named stylesheet
referred to below: langstring
is for putting in the proper language text for the link. so anyway I want
some input on things I could improve, especially in an xslt 2.0 way, note
that not all variables are shown here(most of them are just string values
anyway).



<xsl:param name="siblings">
<stil for="def" type="1">dyn</stil>
<stil for="def" type="2">plain</stil>
<stil for="dyn" type="1">def</stil>
<stil for="dyn" type="2">plain</stil>
<stil for="plain" type="1">def</stil>
<stil for="plain" type="2">dyn</stil>
</xsl:param>
<xsl:variable name="stilnum" select="number('2')"/>

<xsl:template name="changeStyles">
	<xsl:variable name="br_type" select="@browse"/>
	<xsl:variable name="st_type" select="@style"/>
  <tempxsl:template match="change_style">

		<xsl:with-param name="type" select="1"/>
	</xsl:call-template>
    <tempxsl:apply-templates/>
