Hello again.

After rereading my previous message, I have realized that
the code I obtained,

  <y:nameX/>
  <xsl:template match="y:nameX">
    <xsl:param name="context"/>
    <xsl:for-each select="$context">
      nameX-specific code
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

is not much simpler than a plain code like this:

  <xsl:template match="x:nameX">
    <xsl:for-each select="new-context()">
      nameX-specific code
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

Quite the contrary, the latter seems simpler.
So, I guess, my "generic" approach is not intended
for the problem under consideration.
Excuse my stupidity.
