Unfortunately you can't use a parameter in the match pattern. So it has to
be:

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="name()=$p1">
       <xsl:element name="{$p2}">
         <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </xsl:element>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </xsl:copy>
     </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Take care with namespaces: how do you want the user to specify the parameter
if the element names are namespace-qualified?
