Hi Ryan,
> <xsl:variable name="thisLanguage" select="page[@language]"/>
Note that this sets the $thisLanguage variable to a node set holding
the page document element that has a language attribute (i.e. it's
empty if the page document element doesn't have a document element).
More probably, you want $thisLanguage to be set to the (value of the)
language attribute, in which case you need:
<xsl:variable name="thisLanguage" select="page/@language"/>
Cheers,
Jeni
