<P>
The compiled form of an xsl:param element within a template in an XSLT stylesheet. An xsl:param
element used as a template parameter is compiled into two objects: a LocalParam which represents the
parameter definition and the Binding for the value, and a LocalParamSetter which is an Instruction
to set a default value for the parameter if none has been supplied.
<p>The xsl:param element in XSLT has mandatory attribute name and optional attribute select. It can also
be specified as required="yes" or required="no".</p>
<p>This is used only for parameters to XSLT templates. For function calls, the caller of the function
places supplied arguments onto the callee's stackframe and the callee does not need to do anything.
Global parameters (XQuery external variables) are handled using <A HREF="../../../../../net/sf/saxon/expr/instruct/GlobalParam.html" title="class in net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct"><CODE>GlobalParam</CODE></A>.</p>
<p>The LocalParam class is also used to represent parameters with the saxon:iterate instruction</p>

<DL>
<DD>Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of
static optimization.
<p/>
<p>This checks statically that the operands of the expression have
the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type
conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that
is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.</p>
<p/>
<p>This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved
to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and
variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.</p>
<p/>
<p>If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that
the location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly.
It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.</p>
