While this has been in the tree for some time, I don't think we ever
announced it.


Starting with Firefox 2.0.0.1 [1] it is now possible to specify 
parameters when using the <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction to 
apply xslt stylesheets. The new processing instruction <?xslt-param?> is 
used to specify parameters. For example

<?xslt-param name="color" value="blue"?>
<?xslt-param name="size" select="2"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="style.xsl"?>

sets the parameter 'color' to 'blue' and the parameter 'size' to 2. Full 
documentation can be found at

Have fun!

[1] Unfortunately a bug was found in the initial release that causes a 
lot of select expressions crash (in a non-exploitable way). So while 
many expressions will work, some will not. This was fixed in 2.0.0.1. 
Using just value="..." will work fine in 2.0 though.
