Excessive depends on what you mean about excessive. It does not seem
so to me. About predicate, if you have a key2 that takes all <1/>-<3/>
nodes, then you will need a predicate that says that they need to be
the children of the current <a> parent. The problem in general is that
a key works on the entire document. You can try reading
http://dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N4852.html#d5811e568 (Restricting keys
to less than the entire document).

If you need more specific information, you need to give more specifc details
