The spec https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#element-param says "If a 
parameter that is notexplicitly mandatory 
<https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#dt-explicitly-mandatory>has noexplicit 
default <https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#dt-explicit-default>value, then 
it has an*implicit default*value, which is the empty sequence if there 
is an|as|attribute" so in your case you could check with 
https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/#func-empty
 B  empty($THING)
although that simply checks the value is the empty sequence, you can't 
tell whether the variable has that value as its implicit default value 
or because the empty sequence was set as the value externally when 
running the stylesheet.
