Re: [xsl] Binding or re-binding tunnel parameters in the middle of a template

[Andrew Welch <andrew.j.welch@xxxxxxxxx>]

The short answer is no, but I also don't really see it as a problem...
 if you spent much time passing parameters down through templates in
xslt 1.0 you would love tunnelled parameters in 2.0!
