Some hints: 1. xsl:value-of can output a sequence of values separated by a given separator (which defaults to a single space) 2. "for $x in SEQ return f($x)" applies some processing to each item in SEQ in turn, referring to that item as $x 3. $x[predicate], where $x is a single item (which is the case here) returns either $x or nothing, depending on whether the predicate is true. 4. The predicate here tests whether mySkus.xml contains a sku that starts with the string $s 5. key('sku', X, $root) searches the tree rooted at $root for a node whose sku key is equal to X; if X is "nothing" (see 3 above) then key() returns nothing.
