Would it be desirable (and feasible) to include a requirement to permit
passing global parameters to imported stylesheets? What I'm thinking is
that xsl:import could be made (optionally) non-empty, a la:
<xsl:import href="uri">
<xsl:with-param name="param_name" select="somevalue"/>
</xsl:import>
The rationale would be that a global parameter's value is normally set (or
rather, overridden) from "outside" the stylesheet which declares it. This
facility would permit imported stylesheets to be treated identically if
invoked directly from the command line, script, and so on, AND if "invoked"
by another stylesheet.
