[...] There are three main approaches I can think of here. (1) write an XSLT stylesheet that generates a new stylesheet in which those XPath fragments (or template match patterns) are in fact hard-coded... (2) use the eval extension in an implementation that provides it (3) interpret the XPath expression in XSLT. E.g. <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:param name="name" /> <xsl:if test="localname() = $name"> <xsl:message>got one!</xsl:message> </xsl:if> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> Well, this doesn't handle a/b, but you could use substring-after to handle that, or, in XSLT 2, you could split the string on "/" and then look for predicates, and you could do fancy things with count() to sort into document rder & weed out duplicates. But I'd favour approach (1) probably. Liam -- Liam Quin, W3C XML Activity Lead, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ http://www.holoweb.net/~liam/ * http://www.fromoldbooks.org/
