I agree.

 From a protocol perspective we have to be a bit cautious though. First 
of all, we have this <style> element. Is this XSL only, or do we want to 
use this for different things (e.g. CSS, etc.)?

If we exlusively want to use it for XSL, then I'm fine with the above. 
If we also want to use it for CSS, etc., then parameters might not make 
sense for certain styles.

But maybe we should simply introduce a @type attribute for the style, 
which tells us what kind of style it is. If there are parameters for a 
CSS style, then it is simply ignored by the client.
