Yeah, I found that too. Thanks Timothy. Apparently you can specify the
presence of a param without a default value as well:
<xsl:param name="inApp"/>

Hi Bradley...
I was under the impression that you had to pass them along with each
template, starting with the <xsl:template match='/'> tag, and pass
them to the other templates that need them like this:
<xsl:apply-templates select='node-spec'>
<xsl:with-param name='key' select='value' />
<!-- note the "with-". This is different tag than the
<xsl:param> that you use in an <xsl:template>. -->
</xsl:apply-templates>
in a similar fashion to how you might add an argument to a bunch of
methods in order to get them to the methods that need them.
But when I looked up the spec earlier (hoping to help), I noticed
that you can place a <xsl:param> tag in a global context at the top
of the stylesheet (outside of any <xsl:template> tag. Look at
Listing 2 in http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tipxsltrun/index.html
for an example.
Fortunately, each param has a name, which means the physical order
of the param tags doesn't matter. Nice!
Now I realize that my initial statement in this post about where you
have to put param tags is probably excessive. I just wanted to
pipe up and let you know about the global declaration method, while
I go back and see what is actually necessary. (I'm no big expert, I
just have used XSL in a few server-side Java apps over the years).

Was looking online for where to do this exactly. Is it just:
<xsl:param name="inApp">no</xsl:param>
where I declare the parameter with a default value? Is there a way
to just declare that a parameter will exist (will be supplied) but
is not set?

You haven't declared your stylesheet parameter in the XSLT. Fix
that and see where it gets you.
