Is that FAQ outdated?? I know that the following code works just fine:
<xsl:template match="proc">
<xsl:call-template name="foo">
<xsl:with-param name="node" select="." />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="foo">
<xsl:param name="node"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$node/branch/leaf">
<xsl:value-of select="@id" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
What is different about a path with a single variable, and a path with two
variables? Why can't I specify a second variable:
<xsl:template name="foo">
<xsl:param name="node"/>
<xsl:param name="branch" select="'someBranch'"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$node/$branch/leaf">
<xsl:value-of select="@id" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

I believe this is not possible. XSLT doesn't allow you
to use a variable for an XPath expression. See number 2 at
the following list:
