I have been using the following idiom when providing a value for C"b,EselectC"b,B in statements like <xsl:param>, <xsl:variable>, etc., when the value provided is not an xsl object. Is this correct or is some other form preferred?

<xsl:param name="file-type">
<xsl:text>.htm</xsl:text>
</xsl:param>

The above is a text node, as is this:

<xsl:param name="file-type">.htm</xsl:param>

This is slightly different in that it is a string:

<xsl:param name="file-type" select="'.htm'"/>

But for your use that difference is nuanced based only on how the item is stored in memory.
