VFAQ.  The short answer is, you can't, at least not in the same stylesheet.
You can, however, create a stylesheet which defines global parameters and
variables, then import it into another stylesheet.  Then it is possible to
override these values by re-declaring them locally.

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N4738.html can tell you more about
xsl:import and the rules of precedence.  Then bookmark the index page of
this Web site; it'll answer 90% of the questions you're likely to post here.
