actually the saxon documentation gives the following example for
xsl:variable...

<xsl:variable name="title">A really exciting document"</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="backcolor" expr="'#FFFFCC'" />
<xsl:template match="/*">
    <HTML><TITLE<xsl:value-of select="$title"/></TITLE>
    <BODY BGCOLOR='{$backcolor}'>
    ...
    </BODY></HTML>
</xsl:template>
  
also, Saxon doesnt throw out 
<xsl:variable name="x" expr="&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;......"/>

but it *does* throw out
<xsl:variable name="x" select="&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;......"/>
as an *Unexpected EOF*
