XT does. You can pass parameters to the processor with param=value
argument. You must have a top level xsl:param element with the same
name. Thus, this stylesheet :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:output method="text"/>
  <xsl:param name="param">default</xsl:param>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:call-template name="test"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="test">
    <xsl:value-of select="$param"/>
  </xsl:template>
  
</xsl:stylesheet>

called with any xml file like this :

java com.jclark.xsl.sax.Driver test.xml test.xsl param=value

Will output "value".
