Parameters have be set with the API the XSLT processor exposes, so in 
case of Mozilla you can instantiate new XSLTProcessor(), load a 
stylesheet, set parameters, run the transformation, see
<http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_the_Mozilla_JavaScript_interface_to_XSL_Transformations>

There is nothing in the XSLT specification suggesting that global 
parameters should be set from the query string of the URL of an XML 
document to which a transformation is applied.
