I'm aware of that but my understanding of the dyn:evaluate extension is,
that is let's
say 'on level above the xslt processing'. While reading the spec on
exslt.org
the following sentence confirmed this somehow:

...The string is always evaluated exactly as if it had been literally
included in place of the call to the dyn:evaluate function.

And if you're right, how can one determine for which params etc.
dyn:evaluate will work?

Do you have an ide, how to achive it? I also tried with chained templates
and parameters but
then I really stuck with the problem with qnames.
