xalan xpath doesn t work
In standard XSLT/XPath there is no way to store an expression inside a
variable. Or rather, you can store it as a string, but there is no way of
evaluating the expression.

Some processors (saxon, xalan, ...) have an evaluate() extension that allows
this: use xx:evaluate($condition).
