DOCBOOK: DocBook XSL: <xsl:variable> and <xsl:param>

[Dave Makower <davemak@iclick.com>]

Is there a reason that the boolean $generate.component.toc and 
$generate.division.toc are declared as <xsl:variable> and not 
<xsl:param> in the DocBook XSL -> HTML stylesheets?

On a related note, why is it that this has an effect...

  xt mybook.xml /usr/share/docbook/xsl/html/docbook.xsl section.autolabel=true

...but the following doesn't?

  xt mybook.xml /usr/share/docbook/xsl/html/docbook.xsl generate.component.toc=false

(Both $generate.component.toc and $section.autolabel are declared 
using <xsl:variable>.  Obviously, I'm a little confused about the 
differences between <xsl:variable> and <xsl:param>)
