Thanks yet again Michael. Yes, the quotes around the $var were a figment of my
imagination. I'm a self-taught XSLT programmer (thanks in large part due to
this excellent resource), and to paraphrase the old adage I have a fool for a
master.
 
With or without the '' around $var, the result is the same ie <project oregon>
isn't translated to <Project Oregon> by the translate function. However, the
translation works as intended when using the strings A - Z & a-z instead of the
variable representation.

The latter serves my purpose, but I was wondering...

$var is a reference to the variable var, '$var' in quotes is a string of
four characters.

I'm sure you knew that really...
