The param attribute  is the name of the parameter you want to create

So, you are trying to automatically trying to create a display for a number
of  opendap  data sources? i.e., same type of display, different data?
One thing you could do is interactively load a representative data source
and create the displays you want. Then, in the isl load that bundle
but change the url of the data with the setfiles tag, described here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/IDV/docs/userguide/isl/DataAndDisplays.html

This way you can change whatever settings for the displays (e.g., levels, color
tables, etc., viewpoints).
