Do we need to introduce new special element - <map:global-parameters/> -
here? Won't it be better to just declare parameters right inside
<map:pipelines/> element?
Then it will be simply:
<map:pipelines>
<map:parameter name="skin" value="forrest-skin"/>
(Which can be thought of as: "parameters for the *all* pipelines)
<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="test">
...
<map:transform src="{../skin}.xsl"/>
</map:match>
...
</map:pipelines>
