Redefining Variables

           Summary: Redefining Variables

XALAN allows duplicate definition of the variables.
when the spec says...
 11.5 Variables and Parameters within Templates
 ....It is an error if a binding established by an xsl:variable or
 xsl:param element within a template shadows another binding established
 by an xsl:variable or xsl:param element also within the template.....

The following code works without error..

               <xsl:template match="Element">
		 <xsl:variable name="counter" select="1 + $counter"/>
		 <xsl:value-of select="$counter"/>
		 <xsl:variable name="counter" select="1 + $counter"/>
		 <xsl:value-of select="$counter"/>
	       </xsl:template>
Thanks
