Global parameters can be done with input modules as well. See
the DefaultsMetaModule:
<input-modules logger="core.modules.input">
<component-instance
class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.DefaultsMetaModule" name="defaults">
<input-module name="request"/>
<values>
<skin>defaultSkin</skin>
<base-url>http://localhost:8080/cocoon</base-url>
</values>
</component-instance>
</input-modules>
Declarable anywhere you can declare components (cocoon.xconf and
sitemap.xmap in map:components block)
This way you don't have to calculate the number of "../"'s and just
refer to them via "{defaults:skin}". :-)
Plus you can use it anywhere you can use modules (currently a matcher
plus all "new" database actions).
Plus the value can be overridden with any other input module (here:
request parameters).
Plus you can have any number of the above using different names.
Plus writing input modules is trivial.
Plus there're already docs about it in HEAD.
