Thank you very much Martin and Michael. I think I understand it now.
As always it is astonishing how helpful you gentleman are. Thanks again.
If I may ask Michael, why the warning on namespaces? It's probably a
bit nutty, but I'm currently using them as a way to highlight my XML!
Kind regards,
Jacobus

Variables in XSLT represent values, not fragments of expression text. It's
not a macro language. You can use the variable $name anywhere you would use
a string literal, for example
select="//x/*[local-name() = $name]/description"
Take care with namespaces.
