Dereferencing an XPath variable

 I know that the subject is meaningless ;-)

 Is it possible to write an XSLT template that, matching the following
  source node

    <my:A>
     <my:apply-templates select="<<xpath>>"/>
     <my:B/>
    </my:A>

 calls <xsl:apply-templates select="<<xpath>>"/>?

 After reading XPath spec carefully I really believe that it is NOT possible.
 Am I right? Any proposal?

 Follows a wrong solution (only to explain what I need):

  <xsl:template match="my:A">
   <xsl:variable name="select" select="@select"/>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="$select"/>
  </xsl:template>

 					Thanks in advance,
					      C.S.C.
