XSLT processor and xsl:param - expected behavior?

Question..  I'm using PHP 5.0.4 with the built-in libxslt-based xsl
extension. I'm passing XSL parameters to the XSL processor like so:

$xslt_proc->setParameter('', 'param_test', "some test value");

My question is, is it *required* to declare this parameter in the XSL
stylesheet with:

<xsl:param name="param_test" />

What I have noticed is, the transformation is successful and works the
same whether I declare the parameter using xsl:param or not.  The
following:

<xsl:value-of select="$param_test"/>

works fine without the xsl:param declaration, the xsl processor does
not give an error, and the parameter is available for use in the
stylesheet.

Shouldn't the xsl:param declaration be required and cause a
transformation error if it's missing?
