Thanks Mike. I can just pass the contents of the variable into the
template. It's not as elegent as what I was trying to do, but it will still
work.

No, it's not possible. All variable references in XSLT must explicitly spell
out the name of the variable; you can't calculate it.
In Perl you'd just do ${$temp}. Frustrating, isn't it?
What is the problem you are trying to use this approach to solve? There
might
be another way.
