OK, then this means that the caller should be compiled at the same
time as the package. This wasn't clear in the specification.

This means that the caller cannot be a command-line invocation of the
transformation, correct?



In Saxon as it exists today, invocation from the command line is a single-shot 
compile-and-go mechanism, so everything supplied on the command line is 
available at compile time.

Of course one can envisage a processor in which compiled packages can be saved 
to disk, and in which there is a command-line invocation that executes a 
previously-compiled package. In that scenario, the static parameters would be 
supplied at compile time, not at invocation time.
