Yes, that'll break. Correct would be select="$HeadAlign".

"Left" is a valid XPath expression: it's short for child::Left (element 
children of the context node named "Left"). That might not be what you mean 
it to be, but it won't throw an error, either.

To bind the string literal "Left" to the parameter, use select="'Left'".

Cheers,
Wendell
