a small clarification, xsl variables are not "compile time constants"
they do not get their values at compile/parse time, as normally they get
their values at the time a template is applied to a node in the source
tree, at run time. But once bound, their value doesn't change, and the
scope of the binding does not extend beyond the current template.
