Just a couple of notes: - We don't have restrictions about not using variables in XPath expressions, but we don't have a way to declare them and provide defaults. So I think it's important to have <its:param> (isn't it like fixing a 1.0 oversight?) - Should we make a distinction between: A) supporting <its:param>, that it: understanding <its:param> and providing the defaults value to the XPath engine, and B) (in addition) supporting overriding the ITS parameters, that is: providing a way (tool-specific) to set values other than the defaults? I don't think it's very useful to support A without offering B. But from a conformance viewpoint maybe only A is required? I'm thinking that some tools may have issues implementing B. For example tools that currently rely on just processing the XML and the ITS rules (and have no way to set any addition options: no UI or no command-line options). But I'm probably just over-complicating things, and we don't need to make a distinction. -ys
