NO! The parameter passed to parentnext will be a string containing an XPath
expression, it will not be the result of evaluating that expression. There
is no way in standard XSLT of constructing an XPath expression at run-time
and then evaluating it. (There is a Saxon extension to do this, but I'm
fairly sure you don't need it here.)
