Maybe you should be more detailed about your objective.
saxon:evaluate enables you to evaluate XPath expressions at run-time.
It takes a string and converts it to an expression.
This could be useful if your XPath comes from the XML input, e.g.
as an XPointer surrogate.
<xsl:value-of select="saxon:evaluate(link/@href)" />


If you just want to test parameters then you don't need this extension,
for example
<xsl:value-of select="node/child[@att=$parameter]" />

I'm not really sure if this short explanation is sufficient ...

Cheers,
Oliver
