Firefox supports a handy mechanism for passing parameters to style sheets included with the xml-stylesheet XML processing instruction: <?xslt-param name="msg" value="Hello!"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="style.xsl"?> This is described in more detail here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XSLT/PI_Parameters

While this is an interesting "feature", I don't see any common standardization of this as a feature. You can accomplish the same task by importing the stylesheet and setting the parameters explicitly in the importing stylesheet. I've attached an example.
