Make the param not be required and then check for it in a root template.

Given a stylesheet parameter <xsl:param name="somevar" required="yes"/>,
failing to supply a parameter value at run-time results in a boilerplate
error
message such as "XTDE0050: No value supplied for required parameter
somevar".
It would be helpful to be able to supply a custom error message such
as "required: somevar=[true|false|unknown]" to save the user the time it
takes
to look through the code to figure out what parameter is expected.
There's no
way to do this in the XSLT spec through 3.0, correct? and no common
extensions
for doing it?
If not, would that be a useful feature for others, or are there reasons
not to
implement something like that as an extension or enhancement?
