Re: using the mozilla xsl rendering engine

Near as I can figure it, some builds may mistakenly use the obsolete XSLTProcessor interface instead of the newer one. I've got Mozilla 1.2b, which *should* use the newer interfaces, but doesn't. 

You can add variables and parameters to a stylesheet DOM using Javascript.

If, for instance,
 parameters = { foreground: "#FF0000", background: "#00FF00" };

  for ( pname in parameters )
  {
     var p = 
stylesheet.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform","variable";);
     p.setAttribute("name", pname);
     p.appendChild(stylesheet.createTextNode( parameters[pname] ));
     stylesheet.childNodes[1].insertBefore( 
        p , 
        stylesheet.childNodes[1].firstChild
        );
  }

This is sloppy, but I hope you get the idea. It doesn't check to see if there are any variables by the same name already defined in the stylesheet. (If they aren't already defined and you don't add them, it is an error which Transformix doesn't pick up on.) Also, childNodes[0] of the stylesheet is a text fragment; I don't know why or whether this is documented, but it doesn't seem right. It is probably whitespace.
