Hi Kurt,

Thanks, but doesn't the instruction:
<xsl:for-each select="key('columns-by-name', column)">
get a node-set of columns where name=column? I need an instruction
that can get a node-set of columns where name IN (col1, col2, ...).
I see you've picked up the nice feature that that second argument can
return a node-set and not be treated as a string.
(Even if it didn't, you could still iterate over the column children and
use . for that second argument. ;-)
But as I said, we use keys so much for grouping, we forget the general case
of what they're really for, "a way to work with documents that contain an
implicit cross-reference structure" [XSLT 12].
Cheers,
Wendell
