Remember that setParameter is part of the JAXP 1.1 API.  I think they
should be able to pass in a node without calling any special Xalan methods.
They should be able to switch from XSLTC to Xalan-interpretive (or other
transformation technology) without doing anything special.

The DOM API is special because it is the defined contract for the source
tree nodes to the outside world.  Therefore, we have to do special
conversion from our internal tree to the DOM API and visa-versa whenever we
pass these objects or accept these objects.

BTW, I guess select="java:getNodeName($obj)"  is an interesting general
issue in some ways.  What happens if you:

<xsl:variable name="nodeSet" select="foo"/>
<xsl:value-of select="java:getNodeName($nodeSet)"/>

Would you expect this to work?  Dunno.  In some ways, it would be nice if
it would.  In other ways, there's no reason that it should work.
