Why does this DWIM:
<xsl:variable name="foobar" select="@name"/>
<xsl:value-of select="document('inst.xml')//*[boolean(name() =
$foobar)]"/>
and this doesn't:
<xsl:value-of select="document('inst.xml')//*[boolean(name() =
@name)]"/>
... or perhaps I should say, how do I scope @name inside a select to
refer to the @name attribute of the context node outside the select,
instead of whatever it's referring to here (... an attribute named
@name in the context node inside the select?)
Also if you're wondering about the unnecessary boolean() I've decided
to use it for syntactic safety to protect myself from numeric result
s;-)
