SAXON's API allows you to set the values of global parameters (top level
<xsl:param> elements) from the calling code, and it allows the supplied
value to be a node-set. It also allows you to construct a node-set from a
DOM, though it may not be immediately obvious from the documentation how to
achieve this, and it does involve copying and reformatting the data
structure.
