I am using named templates with parameters all the time in 0.43 without
problems. Stuff like the following (which probably isn't too
intelligent):
<xsl:template name='print-date'>
<xsl:param name='datestring'/>
<xsl:param name='element'/>
<xsl:element name='{$element}'>
<xsl:attribute name='Scheme'>
<xsl:text>W3CDTF</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name='DateTime'>
<xsl:value-of select='$datestring'/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select='$datestring'/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
...
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$ms='January'">
<xsl:call-template name='print-date'>
<xsl:with-param name='datestring'
select="concat($ys, '-1-', $ds)"/>
<xsl:with-param name='element' select='$element'/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$ms='February'">
<xsl:call-template name='print-date'>
<xsl:with-param name='datestring'
select="concat($ys, '-2-', $ds)"/>
<xsl:with-param name='element' select='$element'/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
I found the XSLT-Tutorial and reference at zvon.org very useful
