Unfortunately you can't use a parameter in the match pattern. So it has to
be:
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="name()=$p1">
<xsl:element name="{$p2}">
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Take care with namespaces: how do you want the user to specify the parameter
if the element names are namespace-qualified?
