[xsl] parameter use in XPath

Subject: [xsl] parameter use in XPath
From: Saverio Perugini <sperugin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello,

Is it possible to use the parameter "keyword" (line 1) in
XPath expressions (lines 5, 13, and 27) in the following stylesheet
without the use of specific processor extensions?

I know one may not use variables set by the stylesheet in
XPath expressions, but $keyword is passed from the command line
and thus not computed or set by the stylesheet.

Many thanks in advance,
Saverio
