RE: [xsl] test="" not taking value of attribute

<xsl:variable name="veranstaltungen" select="//news/month" /> 
<xsl:when test="$veranstaltungen[(_at_)year=(_dot_)(_dot_)/@date]/@name = 
substring (@name,1,3)">
    do something
</xsl:when>
[..snip.]

Why does the "../@date" in the while clause not contain (at 
least it seems so) anything?

You haven't shown us your XML source, but my guess is that you are imagining
that ../@date selects the same thing inside the predicate as it would select
outside the predicate. In fact the context node changes inside the
predicate. Perhaps you want

test="$veranstaltungen[(_at_)year=current()/../@date]
