Hmmm... thanks Wendell, now just thinking if this approach will work for me.
If I'm driving off of the xml source document, and need to perform a
lookup of my key which references external xml source, then I guess
I'm not in context....



That's a faq, and an explict example in the xslt spec:

<xsl:for-each select="$other-doc">
   ... key(..))
</xsl:for-each>

The for-each only iterates over one noe so isn't really a loop just gets
the contact back to the correct thing while you do the key lookup.
(This made a lot more convenient in xslt2 draft)
