You could do this in AxKit by simply adding a top-level param at the 
top of the XSL document with the correct name. This will allow access 
the URI parameter from the XSL. E.g.,

<xsl:stylesheet ... >
...
<xsl:param name="L1"/>
...
<xsl:template ... [etc]

Then in your templates test if it was set (automagically) by AxKit from 
the URI parameter with a boolean test:

<xsl:if test="$L1">

the value is a string

<xsl:if test="$L1 = 'util'>
...

AxKit and Cocoon are similar so there might be a similar feature in 
Cocoon otherwise why not use AxKit ;-)
