String->LocationPath

I tried to run a stylesheet that inputs a parm and
interprets the value of it as a location path.
I.e. 
 <xsl:param name="query">no-default</xsl:param>
 ...
 <xsl:template name="querytemp">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$query"/>
 </xsl:template>

This yields "cannot convert to node-set" when
running it with XT. Of course, query is a variable
that holds a string, thus $query ia a String 
expression and not a node-set expression.

Is there anything I can do except generating the
stylesheet on the fly ?
