Thanks Dimitre. I haven't tried it yet but it looks most helpful :)

Gah! It's huge!
Seriously it looks like this will generate a string that, when
assigned
to a variable, and selected upon, will act as the correct XPath. Is
that right?
Yes, actually this snippet processes a nodeset of nodes and generates a
set of strings (XPath expressions) for each of them. You can simplify
it a bit to work only on a single node (get rid of the outermost
xsl:for-each).
It has: <xsl:value-of select="msxsl:node-set($theResult)"/>
Does it require MSxml? Can I turn $theResult (which is a string,
right?) into an XPath expression I can use in a select statement,
without needing MSXML?
Actually, the xxx:node-set extension function is not required.
Just get rid of it and the msxsl namespace, too.
