error "xsl:param must be the first element within a template" is an XSLT error

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).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>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!</FONT></P>
