I am going to propose you a really not elegant solution However it maybe useful to you.

-> Grab the variable out of the URL with PHP.

-> Open the XML doc you want to parse with PHP add a line within the variable value in it.

-> Then just code your XSL to parse that variable introduced previously in the XML and use it for the xpath expression.

 

I hope i was clear enought. If not PM.

Yep, thanks a lot. i'll will give it a try. It's really rather challenging ... maybe someday xlst will support this kind of thing? ....

Maybe it is supported but from my experience i do not remember it.

XSL is some tricky in the beggining but at the end after scratching your head a bit, XSL can transform almost everything.
