    public final class GlobalParam
    extends GlobalVariable
    The compiled form of a global xsl:param element in an XSLT stylesheet or an external variable declared in the prolog of a Query.
    The xsl:param element in XSLT has mandatory attribute name and optional attribute select. It can also be specified as required="yes" or required="no". In standard XQuery 1.0 external variables are always required, and no default value can be specified; but Saxon provides an extension pragma that allows a query to specify a default. XQuery 1.1 adds standard syntax for defining a default value.
