Three points:
(a) The only reserved element names in XSLT are names in the XSLT namespace.
Using the local name param is no problem if it's in a different namespace.
If you need to generate elements in the XSLT namespace there are ways of
doing this (either use xsl:element, or use namespace aliasing), but I don't
think you need this.
(b) XSLT stylesheets must be well-formed XML documents. That means you can't
have elements inside attributes. To construct the attribute value, use an
AVT: value="{some/value}".
(c) XSLT stylesheets must be well-formed XML documents. This means that the
<param> start tag has to have a matching end tag. I'm not sure if this is a
problem in your case as you only showed a snippet: but the answer to your
stated wish "I don't want to have to make this well formed" is: you're out
of luck.

Subject: [xsl] How can you turn off xslt reserved tags?
Hi,
I'm using XSLT 1.0, using DOM to parse in my java app, and I have the
following issue:
- parse XML file with XSL, output set to html
- one of my tags in my HTML will be for an applet, for example:
<applet ...>
<param name="foo" value="bar">
...
</applet>
- In XSL, param is a reserved tag. This is a problem because I don't
want to have to make this well formed. Not only that, XSLT processor
also complains about param tags in my XSL page that contain something
like the following:
<param name="someName" value="<xsl:value-of select="some/value"/>">
XSL doesn't allow me to have a value-of tag nested here.
Does anyone know how to turn XSL's param tag off - or how can I output
it to my own formatting and nested tags as shown above?
Thx,
- Noah
