request:get-parameter($name as xs:string, $default-value as item()*) xs:string*
Returns the HTTP request parameter identified by $name. If the parameter could not be found, the default value is returned instead. Note: this function will not try to expand predefined entities like & or <, so a & passed through a parameter will indeed be treated as an & character.
