[xsl] Passing an XML fragment as a parameter

Hi,

I need to create a transform for our engineers to pass an XML fragment stored 
in a SQL database into a document as a parameter. Testing this in Oxygen using 
XSLT 3.0 and Saxon 9.7.0.15 is super easy. I can just declare the parameter and 
then use the function fn:parse-xml-fragment:

    <xsl:template match="article-meta/abstract">
        <xsl:copy-of select="fn:parse-xml-fragment($NewAbstract)"/>
    </xsl:template>

Unfortunately, the transform has to work in an environment limited to XSLT 2.0 
(XMLPrime). Without the function, the angle brackets are interpreted as greater 
and less than entities. (Various semi-embarrassing experiments I've done to try 
to force the issue get the processor to complain that value of the parameter is 
xs:untypedAtomic.) 

I'm guessing this could be solved by saving the XML fragment as a document, but 
is there a way to do it from memory? 

Thanks,
Charles
