[DFDL-WG] passing parameters to DFDL?

[Steve Hanson]

Yes, it's all described in the DFDL spec. Set external='yes' on 
dfdl:defineVariable.

Not yet supported by IBM DFDL though for user-defined variables, only for 
the 4 pre-defined variables.

XSLT has an ability to pass an external value to a parameter within the 
stylesheet, using <xsl:param>.
 
Does DFDL have a similar capability?  Does dfdl:defineVariable allow this?
