Nevermind that last post.  I didn't see that the unicode was wrapped in 
single quotes.



I still do not understand 
1. how having the quoted unicode in a select is functionaly different than 
having the unicode in the content of the param element.
2. how the XslTransform class and VS interpret them differently
3. if there is some true difference why my <xsl:param name="space"> 
</xsl:param> get rendered correctly
