Actually, under IIS (and I suspect other servers as well) you *can* pass parameters to an XSL file. Sort of. You can set up IIS to process any file type through asp.dll. I've done this with "virtual" XML files: files that end with .xml but contain server-side JavaScript. It gets processed like ASP and uses Response.Write to send out the generated XML. As far as I know, the MSXML object (if you're using MSXML/IIS)doesn't care about file extensions, so you can call the files whatever you want; they just happen to emit XSL/XML. I believe, though, that IE5 will not recognize an xml file unless it has the right extension (in case you want to directly view the output). So, you could use http://www.myserver.com/SomeFakeFile.xsl?screenwidth=600, and have it create the desired XSL for 800x600 resolution. I'd be curious to know if Apache, or Zope, can do this, or if other XML/XSL processors are indifferent to file extensions.
