Just to check, is it at all possible to pass parameters to a transform
initiated through a <?xml-stylesheet?> PI at the top of an XML document?
I was curious about this some time ago; it seemed logical to me at the
time that URL parameters to an XML document should be available to the
stylesheet.

It does seem like an obvious thing, but the answer is that it is not
possible. It would also be nice if you could use the javascript
protocol, like document("javascript:makeXml()"), but nope.

You could do something like using the document function to pull in a
specific XML (static file or dynamic service from the server) that
contains the parameters.

Is there a normalised way, on a browser environment (eq. XSLT1.0) to 
access with XSL code:
- the full "current" URI (ex. : 
http://www.myserver.com/mydir/foo.xml?x=12&y=15  the most interesting 
part being obviously the option string, here: x=12&y=15)
- users preferences such as : preferred languages (or the http header 
accept_language string, for internationalisation purpose)
- navigation items such as : referrer, history (tainted)
- computer environment : screen resolution, colour width, OS, browser,

initial canvas size, etc...

Getting the data with JavaScript and passing parameters to the
transform.
