[wtp-incubator-dev] XSL Launching and Parameters

I have a general question about the way the launching and adding parameters for XSLT is setup. On the Parameters screen there is an option, for selecting a Type. The values being:

string, int, boolean, etc

The issue here is that an XSL treats everything as a string. So, from a tooling and compatibility stand point, the Type option isn't needed at least for XSLT 1.0. XSLT 2.0 does have the concept of data types, but this is only in effect if the underlying interpreter supports it.

Just curious as to why the Type option is there. I'm getting ready to start writing some help for the Launching configurations so this info will help in that regards.
