It would have been so very nice if it were possible to write: <xsl:call-template name="its-name" some-param-name="..." another-param-name="..."/> As long that the parameter names don't clash with XSL attributes - XSLT could declare it would never define any attribute whose name matches some pattern (ends with "-param", say?). Today I've got little pieces of code which would be functions in any other language, but it turns out that the call to a named template is longer then the code it replaces!
