This code:
<xsl:for-each select="EXPERIMENT">
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:with-param name="my_pid" select="@PID" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:for-each>
is applying templates to the children of the EXPERIMENT element, not to
the EXPERIMENT itself. The default for apply-templates is
select="child::node()", not select=".". Change it to:
<xsl:apply-templates select="EXPERIMENT">
<xsl:with-param name="my_pid" select="@PID" />
</xsl:apply-templates>

Guys
I would really appreciate if you can help me, why, in the
following XSL code, the paramter is not being passed from the
parent node for the child node. I read through every tutorial
and I could not yet figure out why it does not work.
In other words, the template "experiment" does not get the
"my_pid" from the root body.
