Hi.
Bu then how the compiler knows wish variable is the right one?
i. e.,
if I have:
<xsl:variable name="x" select="1"/>
<xsl:variable name="x" select="2"/>
when I do:
<xsl:value-of select="$x"/>
what will appear? 1 or 2?

I think the biggest problem here is that the scope of a
variable is no longer obvious in these cases. This will also
impose an (hidden) order of evaluation, which is not the most
desirable feature for a non-imperative language.
The second sentence is nonsense. Variable references are resolved to
variable declarations at compile time, the run-time behavior doesn't
care in the slightest what the original name of the variable was.
