Creating and passing XML String to xsl:call-template.

Hi,
	I want to create a XML String in a template and pass it as a
paramter to xsl:call-template.
There I want to parse that XML String and get the values. Reasons why I want
to do this
is to reduce number of parameters passed to xsl:call-template and other is
to reduce the size of the calling template.

eg:

First template:
	<xsl:template name="FirstTemplate">
		<xsl:variable name="XMLString">
		<customer>
		<xsl:if test="cust_name1">
			<name>
			<xsl:value-of select="cust_name1" />
			</name>
		<xsl:if>
		<xsl:if test="cust_name2">
			<name>
			<xsl:value-of select="cust_name2" />
			</name>
		<xsl:if>
		</xsl:variable>

		<xsl:call-template name="SecondTemplate">
			<xsl:with-param name="xmlstr" select="$XMLString" />
		</xsl:call-template>
	</xsl:template>


	<xsl:template name="SecondTemplate>
		<xsl:param name="xmlstr" />

		here something like 
		for each customer/name
			-- get the name and print by formattig.
	</xsl:template>

	Can I do something like this. If not Can any body suggest an
alternative of doing this.

Thanks for the help,

Raj..
