The third generalized way to workaround the limitation of not-evaluatable
Xpath ( not-evaluatable import e t.c. ) could be on-the fly
compilation of the stylesheet. Stylesheet 1 receives parameters and generates
the stylesheet 2 , then stylesheet 2 is applied.

but I have to mention this 'on-the-fly' way - for some reasons
( unclear to me) some people like it.
