Hi,
you can't use neither attribute value templates ({})
nor variable reference in the "match" attribute
according to XSLT 1.0 specification... This
attribute's value must be a
pattern(http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#NT-Pattern) and
therefore must be known to the XSLT processor at
compile time.

Regards,
Armen
