some systems (eg saxon) provide an evaluate extension function that
allows you to evaluate a string as an xpath expression.
If your system has such an extension you may use that, othewise you need
to first use xslt to generate a stylesheet in which the xsl:value-of has
the select expression copied from the source, and then execute this new
stylesheet.
