Re: passing a function as a parameter to transform()

I can't see what's wrong at this stage, but that's probably because I'm not
sure exactly what your code looks like after a series of changes.

Clearly the "called" stylesheet isn't picking up the supplied value for the
parameter. I can't see why, but I would look carefully at the rather weird
namespace that it's using.

local:tiny(). That is, you need
