Which XSLT processor are you using?
If you have a string with XML markup and you want that to be parsed as 
XML then you can't simply pass it to the XSLT processor, rather you 
first need to parse it yourself and then, if the XSLT processor supports 
it, you can pass in a node to the XSLT processor. For instance, for 
MSXML and the addParameter method, the documentation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762312(VS.85).aspx
shows that you can pass in an XML DOM node or a node list.
With .NET and XslCompiledTransform and XsltArgumentList, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xsl.xsltargumentlist.addparam.aspx
you can pass in an XPathNavigator so you would first parse your XML 
string with XPathDocument, then create an XPathNavigator and pass that in.
