RE: using an attribute's value as input for value-of?

if your XSLT processor doesn't support any evaluate() function you can
implement it.
Take a look at :
http://www.exslt.org/dyn/functions/evaluate/index.html

and :

hope this help,

Matthieu.

Look for extension functions such as saxon:evaluate() or
saxon:evaluate-node().

The details depend on your chosen XSLT processor. This can't be done in
standard XSLT.
