You have two separate variables here with the same name: a global variable
which is accessible anywhere in the stylesheet (including in other modules),
whose value is the empty string "", and a local variable which is accessible
only within one template rule. There is absolutely no relationship between
these two variables apart from the fact that they share the same name.
