I wrote a little test program at first: I had to subclass
System.Xml.Xsl.XsltContext, and provide my own ResolveVariable function,
which always returns the same variable.
For that purpose, I had to implement my own IXsltContextVariable class,
which returns an XmlNodeList containing one node. And in order to that,
I had to subclass XmlNodeList, because it is an abstract class, so I
cannot instantiate it, and in any case I cannot write into it.
So, I had to write 3 classes already just to set up a variable context.
But then when I call setContext with my own context on some
XPathExpression object, I get a NotSupportedException.. fanstastic :) Of
course, since it was not envisioned as a requirement, this is also not
document anywhere.

p.s. it was just as hard with Xalan, but at least I could look into the
source code there to figure out what was going wrong.
