The <xsl:key> instruction above is a valid one. What do you mean by "is not 
working"?

You haven't shown the code that references this xsl:key using the key() 
function.

Most probably, not getting the expected results is due to the fact that the 
current document is not the one that is intended to be indexed (my guess is 
that the intended one is the stylesheet itself -- if so, make document('') 
the current node and (this is what xsl:for-each is for -- among other 
things)  then in this context evaluate the key() function).
