depending upon the parser, u can use xsl:param to pass in variables ( which
themselves can be regular vars or nodesets )

yes, they are defined in the xsl, but can be given no value attribute.
your problem is the 'HOW' of getting the parser to recognize a param, which
i suspect is a cocoon specific problem,
( maybe its parsed in the URL, not quite sure )
