Not every parameter is a string.

Compare xsltproc:

  --param PARAMNAME PARAMVALUE
       Pass a parameter of name PARAMNAME and value PARAMVALUE to the
       stylesheet. You may pass multiple name/value pairs up to a
       maximum of 32. If the value being passed is a string, you can use
       --stringparam instead, to avoid additional quote characters
       that appear in string expressions. Note: the XPath expression
       must be UTF-8 encoded.

  --stringparam PARAMNAME PARAMVALUE
       Pass a parameter of name PARAMNAME and value PARAMVALUE where
       PARAMVALUE is a string rather than a node identifier.  Note:
       The string must be UTF-8 encoded.
