I'm not sure. My thoughts were that the only purpose of that function will
be the use for XSLT string parameters, so you can either name it
"xsltstrparam()" or "xslt_string_parameter()", which sounds lengthy and
unwildy, or you can move it into a namespace that makes it clear what it
does, i.e. "XSLT.strparam()". That way, you can easily reference it in a
local variable if you prefer a function, but it keeps the functionality
local to its intrinsic scope.
