  Mmh, I didn't follow in depth the actual problem in this thread, but
in XSLT 2.0, the three-arguments key function can reduce the scope to a
subtree in one document.  Isn't it?

You're right ... was he using 2.0? (Can't remember now.) In any case, 
in that context the statement is wrong, for which I apologize.



It's just a feature of 2.0 keys that I haven't had occasion to use yet. :-)



Nonetheless I probably wouldn't bother with keys in his case, unless 
I faced performance issues.



Cheers,
Wendell
