Hi,
If you want {$foo} to be resolved in the resulting document
(regardless it is an XQuery embedded in an XML document or whatever),
just leave it as {$foo}. If you want the resulting document to
contain the 6 chars {, $, f, o, o and }, then you have to escape the
curly braces by doubling them: {{$foo}}.
This is the same rule as in XQuery or as for XSLT's AVTs.
Regards,

Would it throw an exception if it didn't find a matching parameter? I guess the same situation would occur in XSLT document templates too where you've used AVTs.
