Hi
I am writing a wrapper over the existing xalan libraries. I have to
pass xsl parameters to the xslt processor at run time. These paramters
are later referenced in the stylesheet .The xalan cpp api which passes
the xsl parameters to the xslt processor is setStylesheetParam(), which
allows only to pass string type of parameters.

Now my question :
1)Can an xslt have of parameter apart from string type or is it
necessary that the xsl parameters will always be of string type.
2)When xalan cpp based transformer compiles the xsl stylesheet, what is
the format of the compiled stylesheet. I mean can i store it once after
compilation and use the same compiled object code for transformation.
3)Is there any major diff between XSLT versions 1.0 and 2.0. I was
going through the documentation but could not find much. Also does the
latest xalan processor processes XSL stylsheet version suppiled to it
at run time, so that the results are not consistent

I have been trying to look for the answers everywhere on the net, but
no success.
plz help
