Thanks! That worked.  Sorry David - I misunderstood what you were
telling me to do.  

Thanks everyone for your help.  As always you helped!

Does anyone have any tricks to grab the quote. I would expect it would see
the double quote in the single quote as 'text' and not a delimiter.  
However, it sees it as a closing quote. I tried the 'old vi backslash
trick'but it didn't work.

There is no backslash escaping in XML/XPath.
Try
  <xsl:variable name="name1">
       <xsl:value-of select="substring-after ($definition, '&quot;')"/>
  </xsl:variable>

BTW you could write this as
  <xsl:variable name="name1" select="substring-after($definition, '&quot;')"/>
