I see. So the <map:parameter> element, notwithstanding it is inside the <map:act type="resource-exists"> element, is actually still inside the <map:act type="request"> element's scope. From your comment, I suppose I should have known this because it follows the XSLT specification.
Thanks again! That is very helpful to know.
