Using variables to determine nodesets with conditions

Hi all

I'm beginning to use variables to determine criteria for selecting nodes
with
<xsl:for-each select="*[local-name() = $nodename]"/>

Nevertheless, this doesn't work if '$nodename' is a nodeset with a
condition, for example:
<xsl:variable name="nodename">PEOPLE/PERSON[NAME != 'Carlos']</xsl:variable>

Does anyone know if it is possible? Of course I could use <xsl:choose> and
make as many <xsl:when> as there are conditions, but I'd rather use
variables/params to have more generic templates.

Thanks!
