You would add a parameter to the template. similar to the document
used here www.---.com

<xsl:param name="HeadAlign" select="Right"/>

Then load your XSL document as a DomDocument in your processor.

Set the select attribute of the xsl:param, such as using XPath on the
DomDocument : for example in Javascript in IE, you could use 

xslDomDoc.selectSingleNode("//xsl:param[@name='HeadAlign']").setAttribute("bob");

Then use the xsl:param value directly in your stylesheet, which will
contain the value 'bob' instead of its initial value 'Right'

The correct google term is "parameterized xsl template"
