When sending a parameter to the stylesheet( from command line with
saxon for example), I thought it was always a string (which is a
pitty when you need boolean parameter).
I made a simple test, sending "bar" to parameter foo :
<xsl:param name="foo"/>
In XSLT 1, that is, indeed, an empty string as you anticipated. In
XSLT 2, however, that is the declaration of an empty sequence.
I think Ken is answering a different question - what is the default
value of the parameter? If you don't supply a value, $foo will indeed be
the empty sequence.
