Re: [xsl] Variables in attribute expressions - version of standard?

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

msxml is right you can't  use variables in match patterns (a half
hearted attempt to avoid circularity in variable definitions)

so don't do this

do this

<xsl:template match="fred">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@id = $foo">
    <b>
    <xsl:value-of select="baz/name" />
    </b>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
something else
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

note you _never_ want to begin a match  pattern with // in any case.
