	[Kay Michael]  Yes, the problem of "dynamic XPath expressions" can
often be solved in particular cases by a predicate that tests against
name(). But this doesn't solve the general case, e.g. of finding nodes by
following an XPath expression (or XPointer) in the source document, or
supplied as a parameter.
