The transformation I'm trying to perform creates a series of groups from the 
source document based on different criteria and does lookups. It provides 
the results as a set of tables in the output document. Using the 
<xsl:for-each/> approach creates repeated sets of results, one for each 
input document. I also tried:

   <xsl:apply-templates select="collection('collection.xml')/yourcontent"/>

This led to the same output, where I got the combined results once for each 
document in the collection, which seems strange.

Does this make sense?
