Hi,

I don't think this is a bug in your XSLTProcessor.
According to http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath.html#predicates, a predicate  
expression should only be interpreted as a position when it's a number.

So, for example, <xsl:variable name="snode" select="(//Menu)[5]"/> will  
work as well as <xsl:variable name="snode"  
select="(//Menu)[number($pos)]"/>
