I have a variable $child that holds element name as if it was
assinged by one the following:

<xsl:variable name="child" select="'a'"/>
<xsl:variable name="child" select="'b'"/>

with <element> as the context node, how do i select the contents of either <a> or <b> using $child from the following fragment?

<element><a>1</a><b>2</b></element>

<xsl:template match="element">
<xsl:value-of select="... $child ..."/>
</xsl:element>

Thx
