Re: p:split-sequence gives "Undeclared variable in XPath expression"

The context used to evaluate the XPath expression in the 'test'  
attribute is set successively to each of the documents appearing on  
the "source" port (each document triggering an evaluation of the  
expression).

The variables and options of the XProc document are not available in  
this context. If you want to use them, you have to "build" the test  
expression dynamically, e.g. with p:with-option

<p:declare-step xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" version="1.0">

     <p:input port="source" sequence="true">
         <p:inline>
             <doc/>
         </p:inline>
     </p:input>
     <p:output port="result" sequence="true"/>
     <p:option name="option" select="true()"/>

     <p:split-sequence>
 <p:with-option name="test" select="concat('&quot;',$option,'&quot;')"/>
     </p:split-sequence>

</p:declare-step>

Cheers,
Romain.
