Firstly, you can't use the <xsl:variable> element as a direct child of

This is a false statement ... I often do this and it is very useful to have
a locally scoped variable within the for-each construct. Since the scope
of a variable is its following siblings and their descendants, the variable
can be assigned a new value when the next node in the current node list is
acted upon.
