If you are struggling to create a node list to pass in as a parameter,
two other solutions are:

1.  Create an xml file out of your node-list and then reference that
using the document() function.  For example:

params.xml

<params>
  <param name="bar" value="baz"/>
  <param name="hello" value="world"/>
</params/>

Then use:

<xsl:variable name="params" select="document('params.xml')"/>

2.  Create your params as a well-formed string and then combine with the
xml document (in also in string form) and then transform that.  For
example:

var params = "<params> ..blah </params>";
var xmlDoc =  "<root>" + params + original_xml_doc + "</root>";

(note the containing root element to keep everything well-formed)

You can then access your parameters using:

<xsl:variable name="params" select="/root/params"/>
