well better to say variables hold values (as they do in mathematics) 
rather then hold references to valuses (as they do in imperative 
programming languages)

It's not clear to me exactly what the task is, can you post the desired 
output from the source files your posted at the start of the thread.

sometimes, yes, although it's not clear if you need any named templates 
or variables here. When people write named templates passing "." along 
as a parameter then often (or sometimes) it would be more natural to use 
apply-templates instead.
