MSXML3 supports the XSLT elements "param" and "with-param".

Try something like this:

   <xsl:apply-templates select="SearchCriterion/@UIRepresentation">
      <xsl:with-param name="nom" select="SearchCriterion/@Name" />
   </xsl:apply-templates>

and

   <xsl:template match="MultipleSelectionListBox">
      <xsl:param name="nom" />
     ...
   </xsl:template>

I doubt this snippet will work, but you get the idea.

These xslt elements are part of the XSLT Rec - not a proprietary extension. 
MSXML seems to be getting closer all the time.
