It's actually very common that you want to pass (for example) a document node rather than a string, and I think it's reasonable to declare this using as= on the xsl:param declaration. I also think that saxon's options of only allowing document nodes or untyped values (that is, essentially strings) is reasonable for a command line system, but in programming API it wouuld be quite reasonable to pass in element nodes or other structured values, such as sequences of atomic values as parameters. Actually I didn't understand Colin's statement that you couldn't use as= in this context, Colin, did you mean that was a restriction in the language or just of gesalt?
