I'm still unsure what you're trying to do. To me it *sounds* like
you're writing a small templating engine inside XSLT, which is a
templating engine. :)

What does your XML look like, and what are you trying to do with it?
For me, specific texts are held in custom templates, for dynamic text
use a lookup table, for split XML inputs use xsl:key, etc. XPath is in
itself dynamic in terms of paths, and there's little you can't do
through it, and depending on the depth and starting-points of your
texts you can create really smart stuff.
