Response to: When = is not equality
That's true. I quoted the word "equal" because the declarative nature of XSLT means that the equals sign here doesn't actually mean "equal" but something else. Of course, in many procedural languages, it's the assignment statement, but most programmers are used to that. Something that's perfectly typical in a declarative language can seem like an odd quirk to people who are used to procedural languages, and that's most programmers.
