I was hoping to get some advice from the group on the "proper" way to 
acquire stylesheet parameters from a user and to use them in a 
transformation.

My plan is to have an HTML form (an XForm can come later) that collects the 
values for all sorts of parameters, such as...

<xsl:param name="generate.index" select="1"/>
<xsl:param name="toc.section.depth">2</xsl:param>

... and to collect these parameters once the form is submitted.

I realize that there are a number of ways that I could do this, but I was 
hoping that the list could help me enumerate my choices and provide 
information on the strengths and weaknesses of each choice.  One thing to 
keep in mind is that a number of these parameters are best represented as 
checkboxes, so I will have to deal with the usual problem of HTML form 
encoding :(

This information is likely to be of use to other Cocoon users, so I will 
volunteer to collate and submit the results to the list.

Thanks for any help.

P.S.  For those of you who are wondering, I'm trying to create a "Test Your 
DocBook" web page where you can upload your source file and have a PDF file 
returned.  Thanks to Saxon and the new ability to specify a custom 
TransformerFactory on a per-pipeline basis, I've already got this partially 
working.
