saxon:evaluate allows you to use variables $p1...$p9 and to bind these in the call: normalize-space(concat($p1/Caption,' ',$p2/Caption)) saxon:evaluate(Caption, $parentnode, $tablenode) The reason that the dynamic expression can't evaluate XSLT variables directly is that the Saxon optimizer potentially looks at all the places where a variable is used and makes decisions accordingly: for example, if there is only one reference then the variable may be "inlined". This kind of optimization isn't possible unless all references to the variable are statically known.
