You could set the parameter on the command line to the value in an
environment variable. Using xsltproc on Windows would give:

C:\> xsltproc --stringparam draft.watermark.image %WATERMARK% ...

Each user could set his %WATERMARK% variable to whatever he wants,
without touching the source XML at all.
