XPath using an element value in XSL

Hi,

I have some XML like this:

<family>
	<person name="bob">
		<father ref="../../person[2]" />
	</person>
	<person name="charlie">
		<child ref="../../person" />
	</person>
</family>

When I template match on person I want to get a handle on the referenced 
father element so that I can apply a template to it. Does anyone know if 
this is possible and how?

E.g.
<xsl:template match="person">
	<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
	<xsl:if test="count(father) != 0">
		Father: <xsl:apply-templates select="eval(@ref)">
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Note that the eval() function is what I'm missing.

Many thanks
Pat Turner
