I was going to congratulate you, but then I noticed that the  braces in
the following should have given an error -

> <xslt:for-each select="{$rapido-mapping/map:match[@id = 
> current()/@id]/@pattern}">

An attribute value template is not allowed there.  Are you sure that you
copied the actual code that you used???
