Thanks a lot for your extensive information.  However, please note
that I don't want nor need to produce more than one output file.

It would be sufficient for me if I was able to say something like:

    $ jade -DLANG=en -t sgml xml.dcl input.xml > output.html
           ^^^^^^^^^

And then to say, in the DSSSL script:

(element (langflow)
  (if (string=? (attribute-string "lang" (current-node))
                (cmdline-parameter "LANG"))
;               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      ..do.something.useful..))

Surely there must be a way?  No access to command line parameters?  To
environment variables?
