Kristian,
1. You have a bug in your template :)
If you want to pass a parameter from command line, you have to place the
xml:param instruction in the topmost scope, it means is has to be a
child of xsl:stylesheet node. in this case you example works fine.
2. I'm not sure if Sablotron has to check for validity of resulting
element name. I'm not specification expert, so Tom (who is away for a
couple of days) has to say more.
Have a nice day
Pavel
