I am with Dave on putting all the parameters into param.xsl.
In the DSSSL stylesheets, all the parameters - including those
for chunking - are found in 'dbparam.dsl'. It was simple and
easy to find all the things that you could change.
When I first started working with XSLT, I could not find the
chunking parameters after spending a good amount of time looking for them.
I wrongly assumed that this functionality had just not yet been added
to the XSLT stylesheets. It was only later that I discovered them in
'chunk-common.xsl'. In the meantime, I had gone back to using the SGML
toolchain because I thought I could better control chunking.
So especially for those of us migrating from DSSSL to XSLT, I think
having all the params in one place would be extremely useful. As
far as not making it too confusing, I suppose all the chunking params
could be at the end of the file with some large comments above them.
Right now it is a pain-in-the-neck to have to check two places to
see if a parameter can be set.
My 2 cents,
Dan
