Problem passing Parameters

I am passing in arguments to a XSLT file through an
ArgumentList(ASP.NET). The values that I am passing into the XSLT
transform call are not overiding the default values.

Do I have to do something special for Strings?
Do I need to provide a namespace?


XML - File(ignore newline & hard return)
"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-16\"
standalone=\"yes\"?>\r\n<Facility>\r\n  <Activity>\r\n
<MDBService>Price Analysis</MDBService>\r\n    <Description>Dictation,
Dictaphone Corporation</Description>\r\n
<SendDate>1/24/2005</SendDate>\r\n  </Activity>\r\n  <Activity>\r\n
<MDBService>Capital Maintenance Analysis</MDBService>\r\n
<Description>Dictation, Dictaphone Corporation</Description>\r\n
<SendDate>1/27/2005</SendDate>\r\n  </Activity>\r\n</Facility>"


XSLT - File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<!--Passing Parameters through XsltArgumentList-->
<xsl:param name="reportDate" select="'ReportDate'"/>
<xsl:param name="dateRange" select="'DateRange'"/>
<xsl:param name="facName" select="'Facility Name'"/>
<xsl:output version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"
omit-xml-declaration="no" media-type="text/html" />

Bit that deals with Parameters

<tr>
  <td>
  	<xsl:value-of select="$facName"/>
 </td>
  <td>
  	<xsl:value-of select="$reportDate"/>
  </td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>
	<xsl:value-of select="$dateRange"/>
  </td>
</tr>
