Re: Add an @as in p:import-parameter

/ Alessandro Vernet <avernet@orbeon.com> was heard to say:

I don't think it's uncommon for stylesheets to take a variety of
parameters and I don't think it's going to be uncommon for pipeline
authors to want to be able to pass command line parameters to those
stylesheets.

But I'm not going to lie down in the road for this feature. I'm
tempted, myself, to use a "document of parameters" approach instead
anyway.
