Yes. Some products allow you to specify an XPath expression as the parameter
value. With Saxon you always pass a value, not an expression. If you use the
command line, the parameter is interpreted as an untypedAtomic literal and
is cast to the required type; but you can't cast from untypedAtomic to a
sequence of integers. You can supply a sequence of integers (as an array or
a List) if you're using the Java API.
