[xsl] call-template according to @ value, storing XPath in xml

[r holmes <xsl_question@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could XSL transform;
-------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<display>
	<element n="100"/>
	<element n="101">
		<itemproperty pname="type" pvalue="textbox"/>
		<itemproperty pname="size" pvalue="10"/>	
		<itemproperty pname="name" pvalue="currency"/>				
		<itemproperty pname="xpath"
pvalue="/root/data/row/@curr"/>


	</element>
	<element n="102">
		<itemproperty pname="type" pvalue="hidden"/>	
		<itemproperty pname="name" pvalue="currency_value"/>
	
		<itemproperty pname="xpath"
pvalue="/root/data/row/@curr"/>

	</element>
</display>
<data>
	<row curr="USD"  currval="100"/>

</data>
</root>

-------------------------------------------------------

..to..

-------------------------------------------------------
<input type="text" name="currency" value="USD"/>
<input type="hidden" name="currency_value"
value="$100.00"/>
-------------------------------------------------------
..something along the lines of..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates
select="/root/display/element"/>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="/root/display/element">
		<xsl:call-template
name="call_the_template_with_the_same_name_as_the_type_attribute">
			<xsl:with-param
name="node_tree">pass_node_tree_here</xsl:with-param>
		</xsl:call-template>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template name="textbox">
		<xsl:param name="node_tree"/>
		<xsl:variable name="size" value="$node_tree/size"/>
		<xsl:variable name="name" value="$node_tree/name"/>
		<xsl:variable name="xpath"
value="$node_tree/xpath"/>
		<input type="text" name="{$name}"
value="{get_the_result_of_$xpath_here}"/>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template name="hidden">
		<xsl:param name="node_tree"/>
		<xsl:variable name="name" value="$node_tree/name"/>
		<xsl:variable name="xpath"
value="$node_tree/xpath"/>
		<input type="hidden" name="{$name}"
value="{get_the_result_of_$xpath_here}"/>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
-------------------------------------------------------
..I guess there are 2 issues here..

1 - calling a template with the name which equals an
attribute value, and 

2 - writing out the value of an Xpath which is itself
stored as an value in an attribute

If not, can I restructure the XML in a way that it
could be done?

Any suggestions appreciated
