Attribute value templates aren't substituted in extension elements

           Summary: Attribute value templates aren't substituted in
                    extension elements
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.2.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xalan.xsltc
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


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...
