If the parameter is bound to a node set, you can do this.

If your parameter is, however, a string that happens to be XPath, such as 
"//*", which you wish to be *evaluated* to return a node set to be 
traversed ... no luck. But some processors have an extension function for 
this, such as saxon:evaluate (I think he calls it).

Cheers,
Wendell
