I'm going to take a blind stab at this..
Are you basically going to use this XML document (the one with the Xpath expressions) to basically select a bunch of pieces from another document (or set of documents) and include them into one XML document (the frame?)
If so, I'm thinking you really want this XML document to be an XSLt stylesheet itself using a combination 'document()', and <xsl:copy-of...>

Hi Guys,

I have just started working on a problem which is quite interesting. I have
some xml that can contain any valid XPATH as an attribute string and I would
like to go through all the XPATHS listed and build some XML based on them.
i.e.

<frame>
<block
XPATH="/ClinicalDocument/recordTarget/patientRole/patientPatient/name/family
"/>
<block
XPATH="/ClinicalDocument/recordTarget/patientRole/patientPatient/name/given"
/>
<block
XPATH="/ClinicalDocument/component/bodyChoice/StructuredBody/component/bodyC
hoice/StructuredBody/component/section/component/section/entry/entryChoice/O
bservation/value"/>
<block
XPATH="/ClinicalDocument/component/bodyChoice/StructuredBody/component/bodyC
hoice/StructuredBody/component/section[@title=$section-name]/component/secti
on[@title=$subsection-name]/entry/entryChoice/Observation/participant/partic
ipatingEntity/associatedPerson/name"/>
<block
XPATH="/ClinicalDocument/component/bodyChoice/StructuredBody/component/bodyC
hoice/StructuredBody/component/section/component/section/entry/entryChoice/O
bservation/value"/>
</frame>

If anyone has already done something similar to this and wants to share some
code it would be appreciated or if anyone is interstested in the solution
let me know and I will post the group back when I have found a solution to
the problem!

Many Thanks

Gary Cornelius
