Ah, but you can:

<xsl:template match="/">

    <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"; version="1.2">
        <jsp:scriptlet>
        request.getParameter("test");
        </jsp:scriptlet>
    </jsp:root>

</xsl:template>

JSP can be written in two ways, the old way or well-formed.

To generate a large percentage of your site statically. What you can't 
generate statically, generate to JSP and let the JSP take over during 
run-time.
