I get the following error:

$ saxon -s:example.xml -xsl:example-b.xsl

Error on line 12 of example-b.xsl:

containing the context item:
   the context item is an atomic value
Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.


Use
  <xsl:variable name="d1" select="/"/>
outside of the for-each, then use
    key('index', ., $d1)
inside of the for-each.
