The only thing wrong with the substring-after call is that you are missing teh
closing )

It selects all children that have that have any preceding-sibling
element with value 'Location'.

XSLT1 will then take the first selected element to generate the string
for substring-after, XSLT2 would generate an error saying that you can
not pass more than one node to this function.

I think you want the first element after that key, so a more natural way
to write it would be

select="key[.='Location']/following-sibling::*[1]
