FYI here is a summary of XSLT variable semantics: http://www.stylusstudio.com/w3c/xslt/variables.htm#variables It would be nice if DFDL variables turned out to have either compatible semantics or a subset of them.

The main changes are that the concept of desciminators have been decoupled from variables and an example has been added for the service string scenario in the Variables in DFDL document.
