Regarding you reference to your e-mail. There seems to be an error in you 
statement. You say that templates provides the default value, and param 
the runtime. I can understand that, but I don't quite agree. In my case I 
changed the default value in the template, but the behaviour was changed 
through the parameter, although I didn't set it.

So whatever I do, the parameter always takes precedence.

So now the question is: which parameters are set in the parameter and 
which can be set in the templates ?

In order for the heiracy to work, we should by default change no values in 
the parameter, e.g. the default value of section.title.leve1.properties 
should be:

<xsl:attribute-set name="section.title.level1.properties">
</xsl:attribute-set>

In this way, the rule will be first templates, and then params.

I have no problems with that proposal. But all the attribute sets should 
be empty, so the user by default uses the parameters in the templates or 
from other parameters defined in param.xsl.
