figured out a better way. I would've liked to just set
a global var, but that wasn't possible without any
context. And passing a local var to all my templates
proved undoable, since there can be other standard xml
tags nested inside some of the elements. I would've
had to retrofit all those templates to pass the
parameters along. The thing that works best for me is
the "ancestor::relative/path/to/node".
