One trick I've used to fake XSL parameters is to add attributes to the
document prior to passing it to the XSL transformer. This leads to use of

<xsl:value-of match="/root/@Parameter1" />

the ability to declare constants would improve the efficiency (it seems) of
transformation by eliminating the multiple re-evalation of patterns, as well
as assisting with the context issue.
