[xsl] Use of variables in XSLT

["Kaarle Kaila" <kaarle.kaila@xxxxxx>]

Why do I have to use the variables in my XSLT stylesheet in at least three
different ways?
Assuming I have declared my variable as
<xsl:variable name="type" select="one" />

I some where must refer to is as:

1. <xsl:value-of select="$type"/>

somewhere else as

2. {$type}

and somewhere as

3. $type
