Thanks.  I used local names because sometimes some of the nodes had ns0 
prefixes, and some of them had xsd, so rather than use local names only in 
certain spots where the namespace may change I just used it everywhere to 
keep it uniform throughout the transform. One of those things that seemed 
like a good idea at the time.

He would be correct in saying that

You could "backup" your original document context by saving it in a
variable:

<xsl:variable name="this" select="/"/>
  <xsl:for-each
select="$doc/*[local-name()='schema']/*[local-name()='element'][@name=$strRootReference]/*[local-name()='complexType']/*[local-name()='sequence']/*[local-name()='element']">
   <xsl:value-of
select="$this/*[local-name()='config']/*[local-name()='xsddocs']/@href"/>
</xsl:for-each>

On a sidenote, what's with all the local-name()'s? Wouldn't
"$doc/sxd:schema/sxd:element[@name=$strRootReference]/sxd:complexType/sxd:sequence/sxd:element"
be more readable?
