RE: [xsl] xsl:with-param and imports?

> Why can I not use xsl:with-param with xsl:import and xsl:include?

import and include are things that happen while assembling the stylesheet
from a collection of modules. with-param is something that happens while
executing a stylesheet. Since they happen at different times, it wouldn't
make sense to use them together.

If stylesheet A declares a top-level stylesheet parameter <xsl:param
name="s"/>, then a stylesheet module B that imports A can define a value for
this parameter using <xsl:param name="s" select="1234"/>, or even
<xsl:variable name="s" select="1234"/>. (This is clearly stated in the XSLT
2.0 spec, it's implicit in the 1.0 spec.)
