Cause i have the following structure

<template name="list-item">
  <param name="context">

  <li>
    <apply-template select=".">
      <with-param name="context" select="$context"/>
    <apply-template/>
  </li>
</template>

<template match="specific-item1">
  <param name="context">default value</param>

  [..]
</template>

When calling list-item template with a context parameter, it get forwarded to 
template specific-item1. But when calling list-item template without this 
parameter, it forwards an empty context parameter to template specific-item1, 
thus preventing default value use :-(
