maybe you should use an extension in your stylesheet, that allows global
vars, like i do.
For ex. : <ext_namespace:set name="variable.lang"><xsl:value-of .... >
</ext_namespace:set>
and <ext_namespace:get name="variable.lang" /> or <xsl:if
test="ext_namespace:get(name)='testvalue'" >... or something similar.

I could give you some advice on that if you are using lotusxsl / xalan.
