Thanks for the reply David,
Yes, the expression was supposed to be what you thought it was supposed to be, sorry for the mis-type.
As for using the xsl:key as a global key, I don't know that it will suit our
data. The xml incoming to the page will be filled with nodes, each of which
will have its own key. We are going to then use the apply-templates to
select the key based upon a specific key's value which is known by the XSL
developer before hand.
Is there a way to make the use attribuite of xsl:key select a particular value? If so, then this could be the droid we are looking for.
Thanks again, Alex

The expression <xsl:apply-templates select="descendant::*@key='unique.key']"/>
Is the current way things are working.
I assume you meant
<xsl:apply-templates select="descendant::*[@key='unique.key']"/> ^
If you have one global key definition of <xsl:key name="x" match="*" use="@key"/>
the you'd just need to go
<xsl:apply-templates select="key('x','unique.key')"/>
which is simpler and likely to be faster.
