> <xsl:variable name="data" select="document('contact1.xml')"/> Yes, with this expression you get the whole document. But you can restrict the returned nodeset already here. <xsl:variable name="data" select="document('contact1.xml')/root_elem"/> for example. So multiple times working on this nodeset would be faster. In this case not very much, because only the root_elem will not be returned, but you can restrict it still more of course. > And also: > > <xsl:value-of select="$data/*//organization"/> > ^ > (to find nested contact info) > > It works, but still I'm not sure how to read the XPath expression > "$data/*//organization".

Only the descendants of the root_elem will be tested. And be aware: <xsl:value-of select="$data/*//organization"/> returns only the content of the first occurence of organization in contact1.xml!!
