RE: context variable in xsl

Well, my usual habit is to make all links relative.  If you can't do
that, there are a couple options:

If you are using ThrowawayBean-style controllers and they all inherit
from a common base class, add a getContext() property to the base.  This
will propagate into the model everywhere... so it will be
  <xsl:value-of select="/model/context"/>

You can provide the context to all transforms as a param.  Right now
this would require transforming the config file with an XSL that adds a
<param> node to all <transform> nodes.  Then you can access it like:
  <xsl:value-of select="$context"/>

Really it would be nice to be able to set up "universal" params that
affect all controllers/views/transforms.  Maybe this should be added to
the feature list.
