we need to define XSLT keys in our source documents ... And we discovered that Xalan rejects this because of the presence of the document() function call. After checking the spec we discovered that the "match" attribute of the xsl:key element must be a pattern (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#NT-Pattern) and not an expression (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#NT-Expr). You are missing that a separate key table is created for each source document. When you call the key() function, it only looks in the key table of the document of the current node, which sometimes requires you to keep around variables of nodes of your different documents to do a for-each to set the correct context. I hope this helps. .................... Ken
