<!-- make a false variable entitled 'false-variable' -->
<xsl:variable name="false-variable">
<xsl:value-of select="false()"/>
</xsl:variable>
no, you want
<xsl:variable name="false-variable" select="false()"/>
as if you use xsl:variable with non empty content then you generate a
result tree fragment with (in this case) a root node containing a text
node containing the characters f a l s e, which will act as true in a
boolean context,
