RE: [xsl] passing in XSL parameters using Saxon

["Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try putting the param=value in quotes (as "param=value" or
param="value"). Different shell languages have different rules about the
characters allowed in a single parameter, and the rules aren't well
documented.
