As for the compactness of the names, XMI is a standard promulgated by the
OMG.  I think they used such long names because they didn't consider
namespaces (not sure if they were available) when they did the 1.0 standard.
I've seen the 1.1 standard and they use namespaces along with much shorter
element names.

Thanks again for the help...

Oh sorry for previous reply this is a key question.

(Which probably means I should leave it to Jeni to answer, but
anyway...)

given an id string you eant to get to element nodes that have
that string as the value of 
Foundation.Core.AssociationEnd.type/Foundation.Core.Classifier/@xmi.idref

Incidentally the above only looks horrible as you've gone in for this
computer science notion of understandable names, if you'd have caled it
x/y/@z
then it would have looked a lot more compact:-)

Anyway back to keys...

You want something like

<xsl:key name="x"
  match="Foundation.Core.AssociationEnd"
 
use="Foundation.Core.AssociationEnd.type/Foundation.Core.Classifier/@xmi.idr
ef"
/>

now in your template for Foundation.Core.Class you can go
<xsl:apply-templates select="key(@xmi.id)"/>

and you will apply templates to all (one) Foundation.Core.AssociationEnd
elements that have the stated property of having a key value of S.1.
(I hope)
