Another way to solve your problem is by generating an ad hoc XSLT

== This stylesheet generate another stylesheet ==
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/TransformAlias">

<xsl:output method="xml"/>

<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="axsl" result-prefix="xsl"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<axsl:stylesheet version="1.0">

 <axsl:template match="/">
   <axsl:variable name="dest" select="{//every[1]/event[1]}"/>
   <axsl:value-of select="$dest/@name"/>
 </axsl:template>
</axsl:stylesheet>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
== The resulting stylesheet is to apply to your document
