There is no standard way to do this in XSLT 1.0, you would need to know
the address of the document the style sheet is being applied to and then
process the address to find the parameters. There is however no method
to become aware of this address. A way around this would be to process
the query string on the server and include its data in the XML document,
another would be to write an extension function that returns the base-
URI attribute value of a Node where that is supported. If you transform
to HTML it would also be possible to generate a script element that then
queries the location attribute of the document and either implements
whatever the XSLT is supposed to do, or retransforms the document while
setting the desired parameters, where that is possible.
