Curly braces are never used within an XPath expression: they are only used
when an XPath expression is embedded in text within an attribute value
template.
In standard XSLT, you can't construct an XPath expression dynamically from a
string, or interpret an XPath expression held in a source document. However,
Saxon (and some other products) have an extension to do this:
<xsl:apply-templates
select="document(@href)/Document/saxon:evaluate-node(current()/@nodes))"/>
(This is Saxon 8.4)
(You'll see saxon:evaluate() more often than saxon:evaluate-node(). The main
difference is that evaluate-node() takes namespace prefixes from the
namespace context in the source document, not from the namespace context in
the stylesheet.)

Subject: [xsl] dynamic document() template problem
Hello i am trying to base a template rule off an
attribute in my XML to which chooses nodes to apply
###my XML###
<include href="fbackground.xml"
nodes="fb/section1/*"/>
###my rule for <include>###
<xsl:apply-templates
select="document(@href)/Document/{(_at_)nodes}"/>
but i get an error with Saxon...
[ERROR]
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: A location
step was expected following the '/' or '//' token.
without the {}, i know it will just check to see if it
has an attrbiute, but i would like it to get
intrepeted to
'document(fbackground)/Document/fb/section1/*'
