OK, since the discussion petered out around here and I got the
impression that we were agreeing on this I have added

<map:call resource="">
  <map:parameter name="target" value="{1}"/>
  <map:parameter name="foo" value="bar"/>
</map:call>

to sitemap.xsl 

I haven't updated the docs (actually I have but I didn't commit them)
just in case I was wrong. If I receive no objections, flames, bombs or
similar I will update the docs on monday / tuesday.
