If you use tunneling parameters then you only need to pass them when first set and only need to accept them when needed, e.g.:

<xsl:template match="docinc">
  <xsl:apply-templates>
    <xsl:with-param name="docuri" select="@href" tunneling="yes"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="some-element-that-cares">
  <xsl:param name="docuri" tunneling="yes"/>
</xsl:template>

Tunneling parameters are automatically passed down through apply-templates.

Tunneling parameters are new in XSLT 2.
