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.
