Fwd: document() doesn't pick up a param

The XSL statement "with-param" doesn't seem to be carried over to processing of
nodesets from "document(...)" calls.  Observer:

 These are the simple versions
(no document() call).

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<thisisroot>
<matchme/>
</thisisroot>




<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:via="http://www.viatraining.com" xmlns:xsp="http://www.apache.org/1999/XSP/Core" xmlns:jsp="http://java.apache.org/jsp" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/thisisroot">
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:with-param name="blah" select="555"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="matchme">
<xsl:param name="blah" select="444"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('ITis: ',$blah)"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


These are the versions with "document(...)":
The first XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<thisisroot>
</thisisroot>




<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:via="http://www.viatraining.com" xmlns:xsp="http://www.apache.org/1999/XSP/Core" xmlns:jsp="http://java.apache.org/jsp" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/thisisroot">
<xsl:apply-templates select="document('incoming.xml')">
<xsl:with-param name="blah" select="555"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="matchme">
<xsl:param name="blah" select="444"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('ITis: ',$blah)"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>



Here is Incoming.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<matchme/>

The result is 555 in the first case 444 in the second.  How does one carry
parameters over to other documents?
