The problem is (chatting to kip), you can't pass in
the namespace, only the namespace prefix. So you can't
just say
{http://www.axkit.org/2003/XSL/cgi-parameters}foo = bar
and use xmlns:cgi="http://www.axkit.org/2003/XSL/cgi-parameters";
in your xslt.
You can only currently pass in 'cgi:foo' = bar
Which means you need to look up the namespace prefix being used
for your cgi paramater namespace.
Also, if you haven't declared the cgi parameter namespace in
you xslt, it would break if you passed in 'cgi:foo' and assumed
everyone used the same prefix, since it would be undeclared.
If you can come up with a good fix to those, then it's a good
idea, if you can't then it's not.
Mike.
