Saxon XSLT and XQuery Processor

Hello all,

a question concerning the evaluate-extension of Saxon.

I want to evaluate dynamically a XPath expression, passed to the process 
as parameter $select. The context root is also passed as parameter 
$context. My Code looks like this, but that doesn't work.

###
declare variable $select as xs:string external;
declare variable $values external;
<Values>
{
for $c in $values saxon:evaluate($select)
return
	<Value>{$c}</Value>
}
</Values>
###

Is there the possibility in SAxon to set the context node externally? 
Since now, I allways pass the context node as a parameter. If this 
possible, the new code must look similiar to this, I guess:

###
declare variable $select as xs:string external;
<Values>
{
for $c in saxon:evaluate($select)
return
	<Value>{$c}</Value>
}
</Values>
###

Am I right? But how to set the context of an XQuery externally?

Thx

I can't think of any way that setting a different serialization method
should cause a syntax error to be reported in your query where there was
none before. "Unmatched quote in expression" almost certainly means what it
says...

So I'm going to have to ask you to put together a reproducible example that
demonstrates the problem.
