I think it depends on the likelihood that a distro has xmlto so old that it does not understand --stringparam yet it uses stylesheet so new that setting the parameter makes a positive difference (either it gives the full URL or at least squelches the "You should define the parameter" noise) in the output. I am guessing that the answer would be that is a very unlikely combination and not worth worrying about it, but I've been wrong before in this exact area ;-)
