No problems with your design approach, but you can't use an AVT inside
an XPath expression. You need to build the URI using concat().

something like this?

<xsl:value-of select="document(concat('http://localhost/foo/bar.cgi?input=', $some_input))"/>

Also be aware that if you use the same URI twice, you will get the same
document back, which may not be the latest data.

Cool -- I have a workaround which is to use number math:random() from EXSLT ain an additional dummy parameter ... supported in Daniel's libXSLT :-)
