Passing dynamic XSLT parameters

[Tim Meals]

All --

Does anyone know of a way to pass a parameter into an XSL stylesheet
using the <style> task?  I'd like to pass properties defined in the
master build file into those being generated.  For example,

<project name="test" basedir="." default="all">
    <target name="all">
        <mkdir dir="tmp"/>
        <style basedir="." extension=".xml" destdir="tmp"
style="test.xsl">
            <include name="testing.xml"/>
            <param name="project.name"
expression="${ant.project.name}"/>
        </style>
    </target>
</project>

According to the documentation, <style> only accepts XSLT expressions.
Looking at a recent nightly build of 1.4 (maybe a few weeks old now),
the XSLTProcess.java file passes inner class Param elements directly to
the XSLT processor without doing property replacement via
PropertyHandler (?, I think).  What good are parameters passed into an
XSL stylesheet if they can't be dynamic?  Does anyone have any thoughts
on changing this, or would other users of the <style> task prefer
passing raw expressions to the XSLT processor?

Thanks,
Tim
