> <xsl:apply-templates select="document($querystr)"><

document() returns a root (/) node so if your template for /
does not accept and pass on the parameter it will be lost.

perhaps you want 

<xsl:apply-templates select="document($querystr)/*">

then the parameter will be passed to tehtemplate matching teh top level
element of the document.
