I didn't check in detail what that javascript was doing, but
It looks like you would be better just coding the functionality in XSLT.

If you must do it in javascript you would be better to generate DOM
nodes and then convert to an Xpath node set using whatever mechanism
xalan provides for that.

As it is you haven't generated any element nodes at all you've just 
generated a string with < and > in.

You could in some circimstances use disable-output-escapingso that such
a string gets output as XML markup, but use of disable-output-escaping
is always non portable and a sign that something is wrong.
