That's what I have:

    <xsl:message>
      <xsl:value-of select="$cite-ref/@linkend"/>:
      <xsl:if test="$cite-ref is 
key('refs',$cite-ref/@linkend)[1]">FIRST</xsl:if>
    </xsl:message>

Result is:

Yes, I think I had a comment there that indicated I originally defined 
it as just element(), but in one case (when I was formatting an entire 
book manuscript), I got an error about an empty sequence.  Am not sure 
how that's possible in this case, but I just added that.  I suppose a 
better hack would be "element()?"?
