Not every parameter is a string.

Compare xsltproc:
 --param PARAMNAME PARAMVALUE      Pass a parameter of name PARAMNAME and value PARAMVALUE to the      stylesheet. You
maypass multiple name/value pairs up to a      maximum of 32. If the value being passed is a string, you can use
--stringparaminstead, 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
isa string rather than a node identifier.  Note:      The string must be UTF-8 encoded.
