Please, never say "it doesn't work". Say how it fails (exactly how).
Otherwise we have to stare at your code to see if we can spot what's wrong.
In this case it's fairly obvious, though: you NEVER use curly braces in an
XPath expression or XSLT match pattern. This should be:

<xsl:template match="param[@name=$p]">

That's legal in XSLT 2.0 but not in 1.0 (in 1.0, patterns can't contain
variable references).
