It should be possible to do like your example (I think :) but it's
definitively possible to create a "local" variable related to current
node:
<xsl:for-each select="$lines">
<xsl:variable name="type" select="substring(., 1, 3)"/>
<record>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$field_definitions/*[(_at_)type
= $type]"/>
...
</record/>
</xsl:for-each>
Yes, you can do this, and you can also do
<xsl:for-each select="$lines">
<record>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$field_definitions/*[(_at_)type =
substring(., 1, 3)]"/>
...
</record/>
</xsl:for-each>
but they aren't the same thing, because the meaning of "." within a
predicate is different from its meaning outside the predicate.
