x + 1 = y
x is a "variable" depending on the value of y (and vice-versa), but given y, the value of x is fixed.
Udi's point about the "uninitiated" is well taken; but why should the language of BASIC or FORTRAN trump the language of mathematics?

of course the choice of word 'variable' is unfortunate cuz it may indicate to the uninitiated 'something that could possibly vary' . something like 'term' or 'item' would've been a bit less confusing.
But it does vary:
<xsl:template match="question"> <xsl:variable name="correct-answer" select="key('answers',@number)"/> <xsl:variable name="score" select="@weight * boolean(answer=$correct-answer)"/> .... </xsl:template>
