Description

I'm using the following style sheet (see at the bottom) with
Xalan (version 2.2.0) and from the docs I've read (mainly
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#attribute-value-templates, but also the
FAQs and HOWTOs reported on xml.apache.org site) I was expecting a result
like

var = VALUE
get returns VALUE
<other:element value="VALUE"/>

but instead I got

var = VALUE
get returns {$var}
<other:element value="VALUE"/>

as if "{$var}" is not substituted in extension elements. What am I missing
here? Any help will be appreciated...
