Re: Assigning Values to Global Parameter

Easy. <xsl:with-param/>. You can only use it inside <xsl:apply-templates/>
or <xsl:call-template>, but that's not really much of a problem in terms of
design.

For consistency, I always declare my global parameters like this:
<xsl:parameter select="'optional_default_value'"></xsl:parameter>. A value
assigned later with <xsl:with-param/> takes precedence over the value of the
"select" attribute.

It sounds like you may be confusing global parameters with global variables,
which can only have the initial assigned value.
