The following stylesheet works with Saxon:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";
                exclude-result-prefixes="saxon"
                version="1.0">

<!-- Source1: given as processed XML source: contains XPaths -->

<!-- Source2: given via parameter          : contains Names  -->
<xsl:param name="file2" />
<xsl:variable name="doc2" select="document($file2)" />

<xsl:template match="xml">
   <xml>
      <xsl:apply-templates />
   </xml>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="textbox">
   <textbox name="{name}" value="{saxon:evaluate(concat('$doc2',value))}" />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Invoking:
saxon doc1.xml anders.xsl file2=doc2.xml

I hope you understand this code. If you still have questions, feel free
to ask. As I said in the last post: it's an extension of Saxon, it's not
possible in the XSLT standard.

I'm not that familiar with Xalan.
If it implements a similiar extension, maybe somebody on this list
can comment.

Best regards,
Oliver
