You could replace $methodID with current()/@methodID, but it's a moot point
whether that's more elegant.

Subject: [xsl] referencing nodes via variables
The way things are currently coded, it works. I am wondering
if there is a better way.
Given this xml:
<root>
<methods>
<method id="m1" version="2">
<name>Method 1</name>
</method>
<method id="m1" version="4">
<name>Method 1</name>
</method>
</methods>
<schedule>
<lines>
<line methodID="m1" methodVer="2">
<moreData>yada-yada-yada</moreData>
</line>
</lines>
</schedule>
</root>
When processing the line element, I need to get to the name
of the method. What I am currently doing is:
<xsl:template match="line">
<xsl:variable name="methodID" select="@methodID"/>
<xsl:variable name="methodVer" select="@methodVer"/>
<xsl:variable name="method"
select="/root/methods/method[(_at_)id=$methodOID and
@version=$methodVer]"/>
</xsl:template>
Is there a more elegent way in XSLT 1.0?
