Sorry, I meant dyn:evaluate() ... the prefix ('dyn' vs 'exsl') does
not matter, but the namespace it is bound to is important. It needs
to be "http://exslt.org/dynamic"

The function is described at
http://exslt.org/dyn/functions/evaluate/index.html

Note that the only Java XSLT processor listed as supporting it is Xalan-J.
Saxon supports it only as saxon:evaluate() ... the namespace must be
"http://saxon.sf.net/"
