Ok
Maybe with a more explicit title I'll get some help. Basically I am
trying to avoid writting an infinite <xsl:if test="arg1 or arg2 or
arg3 ... ">. So as a procedurial guy I thought of doing a list of user
defined values to iterate over. This lead me to (*), but of course
this cannot be working since I got mixup in between my user input arg
list, and the real XML document I am trying to parse.
Thanks for help

I think you are asking for:
<xsl:apply-templates select="article/*[name() = $sections-list/args/arg]"/>
...so you want the children of <article> in your input XML that have
the same name as any of the <arg> elements in your $sections-list
If that not what you want, you need to approach your question from the
opposite angle - show what you want to achieve and not how you think
you need to get there.
