Using MSXML one can do things like:

objXML.loadXML("<dynamic>" + myVar + "</dynamic>");

I have done similar things with Saxon, probably dynamically generated xml can be fed
to almost any XSLT processor.

Could you tell us what URI must correspond to the dynamically constructed argument
of loadXML() ?
