How to specify a document as type of parameter in XSLT stylesheet?

I have a parameter in a XSLT 2.0 stylesheet:

<xsl:param name="OVERRIDE_CONFIG" required="yes" />

The OVERRIDE_CONFIG parameter is to provide another XML document to load.

I am able to pass in a file location from the command line using Saxon parser successfully using:

...  +OVERRIDE_CONFIG=u:/config/override_config.xml

and the transform is working.

I'm still trying to figure out if there a way to specify the type of the parameter using as attribute? I tried

<xsl:param name="OVERRIDE_CONFIG" as="document" required="yes" />

but I get an error that it is not a recognized atomic type.

Try as="document-node()" for the attribute, the syntax of sequence types used in XSLT 2.0 is defined in the XPath 2.0 specification https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#id-sequencetype-syntax.
