[xep-support] Is this error a Saxon error or XEP error?

The error "xsl:param must be the first element within a template" is an XSLT error (not an error with with an XSL-FO engine such as RenderX's XEP) that will be displayed by any XSLT processor (such as Saxon and others - though you indicate that you did not have this error with Saxon 6.5).
 
There are certain rules to which XSLT stylesheets must adhere.  The position of <xsl:param...> elements is one of those rules.
 
Are you using an <xsl:param...> element where you should be using a <xsl:with-param...>?  XSLT processors typically display this message when a <xsl:with-param...> is what you need to use.
 
Have a look on the w3.org website at the following URL for more info on the correct use of xsl:params

I am getting an error: "xsl:param must be the first element within a template", which is fine but how do I fix it? I have found 2 threads concerning this and still nothing except go back to Saxon 6.5. This is not a good option...any suggestions? Trying to fix someone else's XSL-FO...thanks!
