RE: RE: RE: [xsl] get variable value in another template

I don't understand your comment. Take this stylesheet for instance:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*" />

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:call-template name="T1" />
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="T1">
    <xsl:variable name="V1">rocket</xsl:variable>
    <r><xsl:call-template name="T2" /></r>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="T2">
    <xsl:value-of select="$V1" />
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Is the xsl:template element with the name attribute value of "T2" on the following-sibling axis of the xsl:template element with the name attribute of "T1"?

Strictly speaking, variables not defined with a top-level declaration
(global variables) are locally scoped to the template in which they are
declared *and* following-sibling templates and their descendants.  Such
locally scoped declarations will tread upon like-named global declarations.
