Answer 1

Try this

<xsl:for-each select="param">
   <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="@value"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></td>
   </tr>
</xsl:for-each>

Answer 2

aha, this also seems to work:

<xsl:for-each select="param">
   <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="@value"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
   </tr>
</xsl:for-each>
