It should be 

<xsl:variable name="pic" select="xx:node-set($formats)/format[@unitCode =
  current()/../@unitCode]/@picture"/>

I think the ".." is correct. current() is the InputQuantity element,
current()/.. is the ThroughputStructure element, and current()/../@unitCode
is the unitCode attribute of the ThroughputStructure element.
