I don't get it. Did your example templates demonstrate what you were trying
to say? It seems like this would do just as well in the second template, and
wouldn't be that much more tedious:

  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$one">
      <xsl:call-template name="base-function">
        <xsl:with-param name="one" select="$one" />
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="$done" >
      <xsl:call-template name="base-function">
        <xsl:with-param name="one" select="$done" />
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:when>
  </xsl:choose>
