One thing that wasn't mentioned that may be useful in this situation is the
use of modes.  In particular, for generic processing something like:

	<xsl:apply-templates select="*[local-name()=$param]" mode="gunk"/>

	<xsl:template match="*" mode="gunk">

might help.  This allows you to ensure that the matching template is only
invoked on nodes selected via the param match.
