  Damn so many people are getting stuck with this, I really need to do
something !
  I really don't want to drop the capability of passing XPath expressions,
maybe the best is to add another xsltproc parameter option just for
passing string parameters to the XSLT processor like:

  xsltproc --stringparam rootid introduction stylesheet file

  Expect something similar in the next release.
