Only one -PARAM allowed on the commandline?

Hi,

Given this stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                version="1.0">

<xsl:param name="param1"/>
<xsl:param name="param2"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
        <param1><xsl:value-of select="$param1"/></param1>
        <param2><xsl:value-of select="$param2"/></param2>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This invocation of xalan:
java
        -Djava.endorsed.dirs="d:\xalan-j_2_4_0\bin"
        org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process
        -IN xml/whatever.xml
        -XSL xsl/param.xsl
        -PARAM param1 toto
        -PARAM param2 titi
        
produces this result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<param1>toto</param1><param2/>

and this invocation:
java
        -Djava.endorsed.dirs="d:\xalan-j_2_4_0\bin"
        org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process
        -IN xml/whatever.xml
        -XSL xsl/param.xsl
        -PARAM param2 titi

this result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<param1/><param2>titi</param2>

So it looks like only one parameter is allowed on the command line.

However the documnentation in 'commandline.html' states:
'
To set stylesheet parameters from the command line, use
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -PARAM name value
'

This is really a detail but maybe the doc should not imply that
multiple parameters can be specify.

Thanks,
Christophe
