In standard XSLT, the XPath expressions must all be statically written in
the XSLT stylesheet. You can't read them from the source XML file, or
construct them at run-time from strings, or pass them in as parameters. The
only thing you CAN do is to create the stylesheet dynamically before running
it.
Saxon has an extension, saxon:evaluate(), which does what you want.
