But you've been on this list long enough to have seen 10001 messages
telling you that you can not change the value of a variable once it is
bound. 

If $iTimeZoneOffset is -1 then you can not chage its value to be
anything else.

If it is a parameter to a template you can call teh template passing a
new value as parameter.

so make all of that code a named template with a parameter offset
then call it once with  offset set to $iCurrentOffset and once with
offset set to $iTimeZoneOffset.

Of if you don't actually need to call it twice but just want to
call it once, but with a value thatdepends on some condition, change the
code to use $offset insetaed of $iCurrentOffset then before you execute
that block do 

<xsl:variable name="offset">
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when .....>
    <xsl:value-of select="$iCurrentOffset"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="$iTimeZoneOffset"/>
 </xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
