The {$...} syntax in XSLT is called an attribute value template (AVT), and 
it only works in literal output attribute values.  In a param, it is treated 
as an ordinary string.  You want:

<xsl:param name="clhs.body" select="concat($clhs.top, 'Body/')"/>

You can't.  The apply-imports only applies to the current node, not to any 
nodeset you might construct in the stylesheet.

However, in this case an alternative is easy.  If you look in 
html/inline.xsl for literal, you find:

<xsl:template match="literal">
  <xsl:call-template name="inline.monoseq"/>
</xsl:template>

And if you look for the template named "inline.monoseq", you find it starts 
as follows:

<xsl:template name="inline.monoseq">
  <xsl:param name="content">
    <xsl:call-template name="anchor"/>
    <xsl:call-template name="simple.xlink">
      <xsl:with-param name="content">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:param>
  <code>
  ...

Notice that it has a parameter named "content".  You can construct your 
content when you pass that parameter and it will then be included inside the 
<code> element:

So your custom template can make a direct call to "inline.monoseq" and pass 
the assembled content in the param, something like this:

<xsl:template match="literal[@role = 'unreadable']">
 <span class="data">
   <a href="{$clhs.body}sec_2-4-8-20.html">
     <xsl:call-template name="inline.monoseq">
       <xsl:with-param name="content">
         <xsl:text>#&lt;</xsl:text>
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
         <xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
        </xsl:with-param>
     </xsl:call-template>
   </a>
 </span>
</xsl:template>

I use <xsl:text> for the literal text so whitespace is not accidentally 
introduced into the output.
