I think Mike meant:

<xsl:apply-templates mode="switch"
  select="document('switch.xml')/switch/*[name()=$p]">
  <xsl:with-param name="current-node" select="."/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

if there is only one template that matches an "xyzPage" element, it will be
instantiated by the code above.

The code above achieves instantiating a template dynamically based on the
node that is matched by it. The node name itself is passed as a parameter.

So, instead of writing an unlimitedly long <xsl:choose> and having to update
it with new cases every time a new template is added, the code above does it
just in 4 lines -- once and forever.

This is the idea -- in case it is not clear there's a more detailed
explanation and many, many examples at:
