The reason I thought about doing this:
The XSL CMS I work with involves a lot of <xsl:copy-of> from one file to
another based on a wide variety of conditions, say for instance a simple
"(X = 'foo' and Y = 'bar')"
which is easily able to be parameterised -- you have a
"x-and-y-must-match-params.xsl" and you pass it a value for X, a value
for Y.
but for complex, specialised requirements like
"((X='foo' and Y='bar') or (Z='baz' and (A!='bof' or B='bop'))) or
(starts-with(C,'quux'))"
there's no sane way to generalise it and feed it params. You end up with
a large number of xsl files, each performing one specific job.
If I could create a "must-match-this-if-clause.xsl" and feed it the
above string, it would be more efficient.
Any other ways to approach this problem?

Hi
As specified in EXSLT, dyn:evaluate() can return a value of
any type (including of course a boolean). But there may be
restrictions in the MSXML implementation, I don't know.
Maybe the OP can find something else and avoid the need for
dyn:evaluate(). Almost everytime I saw the "need" for such a feature,
there were other ways to do the job, with more restricted
possibilities. Such as testing an element name and then testing its
value against a sequence of strings, or more elaborated things...
But for that, the OP should tell us exactly what he wants and why.
