I think the best solution would be to define the parameter but not always
use it.  In the variable declaration you can test if the parameter to see if
it has a value.  If it does, use that value, otherwise calculate it.  As in:

    <xsl:template match="section">
        <xsl:param name="override" />

        <xsl:variable name="section-number">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="$override">
                    <xsl:value-of select="$override"/>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                     <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::section)
+ 1" />
                </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:variable>

     .......


This should do what you need.

Yes - sorry for not being clearer. I ALSO call the same template from
my C# code with an XML document that does not contain all the
sections, but just one of them. I have the correct section number in a
C# variable. Like this:

      XsltArgumentList args = new XsltArgumentList();
      args.AddParam("section-number", "", _sectionNumber.ToString());
      string html = XmlUtils.TransformXmlNode(_node, _xslt, args);

So it has to be a parameter to work in both situations.
