Miloslav's proposal appears to be different. I'm not sure
I interpret it right, but it seems he basically wants the
<propagate-params/> element as an abbreviation of the
multiple <with-param ...> elements in the apply/call
template(s) element.
While Miloslav's proposal may arise from a very similar
motivation as mine, it appears to still rely on explicit
parameters and on an uninterrupted chain of explicit
parameter passing. The idea with implicit parameters is
that they are "passed through" intermediary calls that
have no interest in these parameters.
