Yes, but this could as well be:

<xsl:template match="  ">
 <xsl:apply-templates select="baseDboFileReference"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="baseDboFileReference">
  <xsl:variable name="runOutOfIdeas" select="FileRefEval" />
  [siblings]
</xsl:template>

In other situations (in a situation where you might actually want to call a 
named template, not just apply templates), you might want to pass the value 
in from the calling template. In this case you'd use a parameter, not a 
variable.

Cheers,
Wendell
