Well, this is the general method for extending
a localization.  I'm not sure about the double namespace
declaration, though.  Why not use:

<xsl:param name="local.l10n.xml" select="document('')"/> 
  <l:i18n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0";>
    <l:l10n language="fr">
      <l:gentext key="Continued" text="(Continué)"/>
      ...

But I think your version is still valid, and should work.

Can you be more specific about what you mean
by "the English option is lost"?
What error messages are you seeing?
