with-param not working in apply-templates - xslt

Question

I am currently trying to generate the creation SQL for my tables based off of a Visio diagram. I am doing this using the approach found here.
http://www.dougboude.com/blog/1/2008/11/SQL-Forward-Engineering-with-Visio-2003-Professional.cfm
I am attempting to modify the xslt file found there to better model the syntax that we use in our office. Unfortunately, I cannot get the part that involves passing the table name into the template for the table columns to work. The template gets called, but it seems to ignore my parameters.
<xsl:template match="Entity" mode="table">
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE name = '<xsl:value-of select="#PhysicalName"/>')
<br />
CREATE TABLE dbo.[<xsl:value-of select="#PhysicalName"/>]
(
<br />
<xsl:for-each select="EntityAttributes/EntityAttribute">
<span style="padding-left: 20px;">
<xsl:apply-templates select="../../../../Attributes/Attribute[#AttributeID = current()/#EntityAttributeID]" mode="table">
<xsl:with-param name="EntityName" select="#PhysicalName" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</span>
<xsl:if test="count(../../EntityAttributes/EntityAttribute) != position()">,</xsl:if>
<br />
</xsl:for-each>
)
<br />
GO
<p />
<xsl:apply-templates select="EntityAnnotations/EntityAnnotation[#AnnotationType='Primary Key']" mode="pk"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="EntityAnnotations/EntityAnnotation[#AnnotationType='Alternate Key']" mode="ak"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="EntityAnnotations/EntityAnnotation[#AnnotationType='Index']" mode="idx"/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Create column for each EntityAttribute -->
<xsl:template match="Attribute" mode="table">
<xsl:param name="EntityName"></xsl:param>
<xsl:variable name="nullability">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test='#AllowNulls = "false"'>NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DF_<xsl:value-of select="$EntityName" />_<xsl:value-of select="#PhysicalName"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise> NULL</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="incremental">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test='#PhysicalDatatype = "int identity"'> INT IDENTITY(1,1)</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="#PhysicalDatatype"/></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
[<xsl:value-of select="#PhysicalName"/>] <span style="text-transform:uppercase;"> <xsl:value-of select="$incremental"/></span> <xsl:value-of select="$nullability"/>
</xsl:template>

The parameter is not ignored, but I guess it is empty. You call:
<xsl:with-param name="EntityName" select="#PhysicalName" />
where #PhysicalName must be an attribute of EntityAttributes/EntityAttribute element from the for-each. The fact that you use #PhysicalName earlier in
CREATE TABLE dbo.[<xsl:value-of select="#PhysicalName"/>]
makes me think in reality it is an attribute of the Entity element the template matches. You need to store its value in a variable first (before the for-each):
<xsl:variable name="PhysicalName" select="#PhysicalName" />
and then use it like this:
<xsl:with-param name="EntityName" select="$PhysicalName" />
<!-- -------------------------------------^ -->
The for-each resets the context node with every iteration, I guess this is where it goes wrong for you.
