This looks very interesting. I'm going to give it a go.

An alternative you might consider is the Novatchev "dynamic templates"
method.

Change

<xsl:template name="xyz">

to

<xsl:template match="xyzPage" mode="switch">
  <xsl:param name="$current-node"/>

Create an element <xyz/> (e.g. in a document switch.xml)

Change

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$p='xyz'">
    <xsl:call-template name="xyzPage"/>
  etc. etc.

to

<xsl:apply-templates
select="document('switch.xml')/switch/*[name()=$p]">
  <xsl:with-param name="current-node" select="."/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

For greater efficiency, use keys.
