No.  If you want to use just a single step in the xpath expression, you can
do something like

<xsl:apply-templates select="//*[name()=$param1]" />

If you need to use a many-step path, like /LEVEL/DUMP/TEST[3], one way to
handle it is to use one stylesheet to write a second one, which will have
the right path hard-coded in. This usually works well.

Cheers,
