Is this possible to do?

Unfortunately no. I've raised this issue on dev list, but no one had a
solution to it (I hope we'd invent something for that).

In xpath one uses $ for variables.
I would assume this could be a possible notation {alphabet:$2}

I had the same idea.
Also, we could use the same notation for input modules, e.g.: $request,
$session, $xml-file and then we could combine them in any XPath expressions
like:
src="$session/attribute($request/paramValue[@name='style'])"... Seems a
little complex... just a quick idea.

Is it a good idea to change the syntax so late in the game? Why not simply implement recursive {a{b}} substitution? In 2.0.4 series, this code lives in AbstractSitemap.java, substitute() method. I believe in 2.1 this is in PreparedVariableResolver.java, <init> method.
