| OK.  Make the parameter xsl:version or some other QName.

Any QName you pick has a collision problem to one extent or another.

I suppose we could allow additional attributes on p:step. But then I'd
really think that it would make sense to have two components. The
XSLT2 component could have attributes for specifying the initial
template or mode.
